This is what the law says:
INA: ACT 262 - REGISTRATION OF ALIENS IN THE UNITED STATES
Sec. 262. [8 U.S.C. 1302]
(a) It shall be the duty of every alien now or hereafter in the United
States, who (1) is fourteen years of age or older, (2) has not been
registered and fingerprinted under section 221(b) of this Act or section 30
or 31 of the Alien Registration Act, 1940, and (3) remains in the United
States for thirty days or longer, to apply for registration and to be
fingerprinted before the expiration of such thirty days.
(b) It shall be the duty of every parent or legal guardian of any alien now
or hereafter in the United States, who (1) is less than fourteen years of
age, (2) has not been registered under section 221(b) of this Act or section
30 or 31 of the Alien Registration Act, 1940, and (3) remains in the United
States for thirty days or longer, to apply for the registration of such
alien before the expiration of such thirty days. Whenever any alien attains
his fourteenth birthday in the United States he shall, within thirty days
thereafter, apply in person for registration and to be fingerprinted.
(c) The Attorney General may, in his discretion and on the basis of
reciprocity pursuant to such regulations as he may prescribe, waive the
requirement of fingerprinting specified in subsections (a) and (b) in the
case of any nonimmigrant.
