Plain English

Form I-90 is used to renew or replace your Green Card. You need it if your card is expiring (within 6 months), was lost or stolen, or has incorrect information.

Quick Facts

Who: Permanent residents who need to renew (within 6 months of expiration), replace (lost/stolen/damaged), or update their Green Card.
What: Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) — including renewals, lost/stolen replacements, and corrections.
When: Renew within 6 months of expiration. Replace immediately if lost/stolen. Update if personal info changes or when child turns 14 (Green Card expires at age 14).
Where: Filed with USCIS by mail or online through USCIS website.
Why: A valid Green Card is required as proof of permanent resident status for employment, travel, and legal purposes.
How: Provide personal info, A-Number, reason for application, mailing address, biographic info, and supporting documents. Pay fee and submit photos.

Common Risks & Mistakes

  • •Applying too early for renewal — USCIS accepts renewal within 6 months of expiration only
  • •Incorrect A-Number — delays processing; found on current Green Card
  • •Not reporting a lost card to USCIS — should be reported to prevent identity fraud
  • •Failing to renew before expiration — an expired Green Card may cause issues with travel and employment
  • •Name change not documented — must provide supporting documents like marriage certificate or court order
