Renewing/Replacing Green Cards

What do I do if my green card is expired or lost? To renew or replace your green card, you must file the form I-90.

What is the form I-90?

The form I-90 (AKA Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Green Card)) is used to renew or replace your current green card. You must file the application before your green card expires.

You only need your current green card, or any other documents to prove your permanent resident status.

My Green Card has expired, what do I do?

If you do not have a Green Card or your card expired more than 12 months ago, you will need to prove your lawful permanent resident status while waiting to receive a new Green Card. You may also get issued a Documentation, Identification & Telecommunications (ADIT) stamp by USCIS after you file this form.

If you applied for naturalization at least six months before your Green Card expired, you may be able to receive an ADIT stamp instead of filing a Form I-90.

Also, if your Green Card has expired, you can use the I-90 receipt notice as proof of your permanent residence status.

Filing Fee

The filing fee for the form I-90 is $455.

If you are filing Form I-90 because you never received your Green Card, you do not have to pay a filing fee as long as you meet these following criteria:

USCIS mailed the card more than 30 days ago;

It was returned to USCIS as undeliverable; or/and

You have not moved from the address you provided to USCIS.

 

If you are submitting your application to receive your initial green card, you must submit the following:

A copy of the Form I-797, Notice of Action, for the form that USCIS approved to grant your Green Card; for example, Form I-485, Form I-751, Form I-829, or Form I-90;

A copy of government-issued identification that contains your name, date of birth, photograph and signature
