Instructions for Application for Civil Surgeon Designation
USCIS
Form I-910
OMB No. 1651-0114
Expires 11/30/2025
Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
What is the Purpose of Form I-910?
Form I-910, Application for Civil Surgeon Designation, is used by physicians seeking designation as a civil surgeon.
What is a Civil Surgeon?
By law, a civil surgeon is a physician designated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to conduct
immigration medical examinations for individuals applying for an immigration benefit in the United States.
Unless you are a medical officer of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS), you must have civil surgeon designation if
you wish to conduct immigration medical examinations for immigration benefit applicants in the United States. If you are
not a USCIS-designated civil surgeon (or a USPHS medical officer), you are not authorized to conduct immigration
medical examinations for immigration benefit applications in the United States or to complete Form I-693, Report of
Medical Examination and Vaccination Record.
Civil surgeon designation does not authorize you to conduct immigration medical examinations for individuals seeking
immigration benefits abroad through the visa issuance process of the U.S. Department of State (DOS). Only DOS-
designated panel physicians overseas may conduct such examinations. For more information, visit the DOS website at
NOTE: Civil surgeon designation is not required for physicians who perform medical examinations, unrelated to an
immigration benefit, for detainees within the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP), and other government entities.
Who Should Use Form I-910?
Use Form I-910 if you are a physician seeking civil surgeon designation to perform immigration medical examinations for
immigration benefit applications in the United States and complete Form I-693.
Do not use Form I-910 if you are a military or public health department physician who qualifies for blanket civil surgeon
designation by USCIS. Public health department physicians may only use the blanket civil surgeon designation to
complete the vaccination assessments for refugees, not asylees, seeking adjustment of status. Military physicians who
qualify for blanket civil surgeon designation may complete all parts of a required immigration medical examination for
members and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and certain eligible dependents if the military physician meets certain
What Professional Qualifications Are Required for Civil Surgeon Designation?
For USCIS to designate you as a civil surgeon, you must:
1. Have an active and unrestricted license as a doctor of medicine (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathy (D.O.) in the U.S. state
or U.S. territory where you seek to perform immigration medical examinations;
2. Have at least four years of professional experience as a physician in the U.S.; and
3. Have authorization to work in the United States.

Form I-910 Instructions 11/02/22
Are There Other Requirements for Civil Surgeon Designation?
In addition to meeting the professional qualifications, you must:
1. Apply for civil surgeon designation using Form I-910;
2. Submit the completed Form I-910 with the correct filing fee; and
3. Have active medical practices at the locations where you are requesting to perform immigration medical
examinations. USCIS will not grant your civil surgeon designation for locations where you intend to practice only in
the future or where you no longer practice.
NOTE: Civil surgeon designation is at the discretion of USCIS. Although you may meet the specified professional
qualifications and other requirements listed on Form I-910, USCIS cannot guarantee you will receive designation as a
civil surgeon.
What Are the Responsibilities of a Civil Surgeon?
If USCIS designates you as a civil surgeon, you must comply with the following requirements when performing civil
surgeon duties:
1. Truthfully and accurately report the results of an applicant's immigration medical examination and all laboratory
reports on Form I-693, where indicated, and sign the civil surgeon's certification on Form I-693.
Take reasonable steps to ensure the person appearing for the immigration medical examination, including any
laboratory test, vaccinations, or x-rays, is the same person applying for the requested immigration benefit. Generally,
applicants must present a valid government-issued photo identification (for example, a valid unexpired passport or
driver's license) at the time of their immigration medical examination, and you must annotate the type of identification
presented and identification number in Part 5. of Form I-693. The law imposes severe penalties for knowingly and
willfully falsifying or concealing a material fact or using any false documents in connection with immigration medical
examinations.
2. Follow Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) guidelines. Civil surgeons must perform the immigration medical examination according to HHS regulations
found at 42 CFR part 34. These regulations include the specific guidelines found in the CDC publication "Technical
Instructions for Civil Surgeons" (Technical Instructions). Civil surgeons should address any questions about the
Technical Instructions directly to CDC. USCIS cannot answer medical questions involving the Technical
Instructions. The Technical Instructions, including periodic updates posted by CDC, are available on the CDC website
3. Make referrals and file case reports, as required. The CDC's Technical Instructions require you to:
A. Refer the applicant to the local health department if the chest x-ray suggests tuberculosis (TB) or if any other
health-related circumstances are present, as specified in the CDC's Technical Instructions;
B. Ensure testing and therapy are given for diagnoses of communicable diseases of public health significance, as
outlined in the CDC's Technical Instructions; and
C. File a case report with the appropriate public health authorities if required by local laws or regulations. You must
also advise the applicant that you are filing a case report.

Form I-910 Instructions 11/02/22
4. Notify USCIS of any changes relevant to your designation as a civil surgeon. You are responsible for notifying
USCIS in the event that:
A. You cease to practice medicine;
B. You cease to perform immigration medical examinations in the U.S. state or U.S. territory or at the locations
associated with your civil surgeon designation; or
C. Your medical license is restricted and/or you are subject to any disciplinary action; or
D. Your contact information changes (for example, name of office, address, telephone number, fax number, or email
address).
NOTE: You should notify USCIS within 15 days of the change. See the When and How Do I Update My
Civil Surgeon Information section of these Instructions for more information.
Can USCIS Revoke Civil Surgeon Designation?
USCIS may revoke a civil surgeon's designation at any time. Reasons for revocation include, but are not limited to, your:
1. Failure to continue to meet the professional qualifications required for civil surgeon designation;
2. Failure to meet the responsibilities of a civil surgeon, including failure to follow the CDC's Technical Instructions and
Form I-693 Instructions;
3. Engaging in immigration fraud, including providing false information in any materials provided in the course of
immigration medical examinations; or
4. Engaging in any activity that poses a risk to public health or safety.
