My wallet rights card

What you get

Print it, cut it out, and keep it in your wallet. The rights side works with nothing filled in — the blanks are only for your lawyer and the people you would call.

What this makes

A card 3.5 × 2 inches — the same size as a bank card.
One face in English, to show or hand to an officer.
One face for you, with your lawyer and the numbers you would call.
It is finished before you type anything. Every blank is optional.

Everything you type stays on this phone or computer. Nothing is sent to us — we never see it.

By default nothing is saved. If you choose Save on this device, it stays only on this device.

About you

Both of these are optional. The card is complete without them.

My name optional

The card works without it. Leave it off if you would rather not carry your name.

My A-Number optional

This helps your family find you if you are detained. Leave it blank if you are not sure of it.

What will be on your card

Anything you left blank stays a write-on line — you can fill it in by hand after you print.

Your card

Shown at real size — 3.5 × 2 inches, the same as a bank card. It is the only thing that prints.

Cut along the dashed line. Fold on the middle line so the English side faces out.

I AM USING MY RIGHTS

I am staying silent. I want to use my right not to answer questions.
I do not agree to a search of me, my things, my car or my home.
I want to speak to a lawyer. I will not sign anything until I do.
Am I free to go?

Say: “I want to remain silent. I want to speak to a lawyer.”

Everyone in the U.S. has these rights, whatever their immigration status.

Tip: set your printer to “Fit to page.” Starting over erases everything you typed, including anything saved on this device.

Nothing is saved. This card will disappear when you close the page.

The rights face of this card is in English on purpose: it is the face you show to an officer.

One card per adult

Each grown-up needs their own card, because each one has their own lawyer and their own numbers. Print another for each family member. Children old enough to carry something should have your two phone numbers on them too.

Official printed cards

The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) prints the best-known know-your-rights card — the “red card” — and gives it away in 59 languages, including Haitian Creole. Their card is built the same way ours is: your own language on the front for you, English on the back for the officer.

ILRC red cards — all languages

Free print-at-home artwork, no sign-up. Standard 3.5 × 2 inch cards, four to a sheet.

Never pay for a red card

ILRC gives the cards away and says so plainly on its own site. If someone on social media is charging you for one, that is a scam.

ILRC also suggests rounding the corners with scissors and using bright, heavy paper so the card is easy to find in a wallet. Our own longer printable card, with free help lines on it, is at /print-card/.

Losing TPS is not a deportation order

TPS for Haiti and Syria was terminated effective July 27, 2026, and TPS work permits expired the same day. That is not an automatic deportation order. Removal requires a legal process, and in that process you have rights — the ones on this card. Know your rights if ICE comes →

General information, not legal advice. This card states rights that belong to everyone in the United States. It does not decide anything about your case — only a licensed immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative can do that. Free and low-cost legal help is here.
