J-1 scholars are required to report and maintain a U.S. physical address in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System managed by DHS). All J-1 scholars must report their address/phone number within 10 calendar days of arriving in the U.S., and within 10 calendar days of any change.  Your U.S. physical address must be the address where you live (campus department addresses, P.O. Boxes, or an address outside the U.S. are not accepted). We also encourage all scholars to keep an active U.S. phone number. 

Reporting your address in a timely manner is required to maintain your J-1 status. 

To Report your Address:

  • Go to https://ihopkins.jhu.edu/
  • Click “Login” under “Active JHED Login”
  • Login with your JHED ID and password
  • Once logged in, click on “J-1 Scholar Services” in the menu on the left, then click on “J-1 Scholar Address and Phone Number Update” eForm to report your U.S. address and phone number
