What is a daca account?

DACA, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, is a policy that was established in 2012 by the Obama administration. It allows certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United States as children to receive temporary protection from deportation and eligibility for work authorization.

To apply for DACA, individuals must meet certain criteria, such as being under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012, having arrived in the U.S. before the age of 16, and continuously residing in the country since June 15, 2007. DACA recipients, also known as "Dreamers," must renew their status every two years.

Having a DACA account typically refers to the online account that individuals use to apply for and manage their DACA status. This account allows them to submit necessary documentation, check the status of their application, and receive important notifications about their DACA status. It is important to keep the account updated and to respond promptly to any requests for information to maintain DACA status.
