Databases: UK: Immigrants’ registration cards go online

The registration cards, held by The National Archives in Kew, of more than 1,000 foreign nationals who came to the London area between 1914 and 1991 have now gone online at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/aliens.asp.

The surviving cards contain the details of over 1,000 ‘Alien Registration Cards’ (’alien’ was formerly the legal term for a British immigrant). The legislation required individuals to register their details with the police and to pay a registration fee.
