<h1> | Welcome to the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card | <p> | The Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (I-90) is used to replace or renew a Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Card or referred to as the Green Card). Submit this application if your Green Card: • Has expired • Will expire • Was lost, stolen, or destroyed A Green Card is proof of your permanent resident status in the United States. It also serves as a valid identification document and proof that you are authorized to live and work permanently in the United States. |
|||||||
<h2> | Before you start your application | <h3> | Eligibility | <p> | You may be eligible to apply to replace your Green Card if you are a: • Lawful permanent resident • Permanent resident in commuter status • Conditional permanent resident whose current Green Card will not expire in the next 90 days If you are a conditional permanent resident and your Green Card has expired or will expire in the next 90 days, you will need to file a Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence (I-751) to remove the conditions on your card. |
|||||
<h3> | Fee | <p> | We will automatically calculate the cost for you when you submit your application. The application fee is $540. This includes the $455 standard fee plus an $85 biometrics service fee. You do not have to pay the application fee if: • Your previous card was issued but never delivered • Your card was incorrect because of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) error If you are 14 years old and your card will expire after your 16th birthday, you only have to pay the $85 biometrics fee. Learn more about <a href="https://www.uscis.gov/feewaiver">filing a fee waiver</a> |
|||||||
<h3> | Filing online | <p> | Submitting your form online is the same as mailing in a completed paper form. They both gather the same information and cost the same. | |||||||
<h3> | Documents you may need | <p> | We will automatically determine which documents you should provide us as you fill out your application. The documents you need will depend on your current immigration status and the reason you are requesting a new card. In most cases, it will be helpful for you to have your current Green Card or a government-issued identification card on hand as you complete your application. |

<h3> | Attend your biometrics appointment | <p> | A few weeks after you submit your application, we will contact you to schedule an appointment at an Application Support Center near you. At the appointment, we will get your fingerprints, photograph, and signature. | |||||||
<h3> | Receive your card | <p> | Once your application is approved, we will mail you your new Green Card. If your card cannot be delivered to your mailing address, we will hold it for up to 1 year before we destroy it.

Evidence | As part of applying for a replacement Permanent Resident Card, you will need to provide evidence to support your application. These documents help us evaluate your application and verify your answers. You are required to provide several documents as part of submitting your application. You may also need to provide additional evidence, depending on how you answered some questions. Do not send original documents to USCIS in the mail. Provide legible copies of your documents unless USCIS later requests original documents. |
PLC (Alice): I think the third paragraph needs some tweaking. What's the difference between sending and providing something in the mail? I would change the first sentence to say "Do not send original documents to USCIS in the mail." |
Copy updated to include PL recommendations. | OCCaca041217- 1st PARAGRAPH: remove "are true". End the sentence with "answers." 2nd PARAGRAPH: remove "now". 3rd PARAGRAPH: Why is this discussing mail at all? Shouldn't this be about uplaoding info into ELIS with the submission? Please revisit and revise appropriately. I also recommend a separate, clear sentence addressing later requests for originals on a case by case, specific basis. |
Copy updated to include the first two recommendations. The warning about mail is to deter applicants from filing online and then mailing in an additional packet of information. The applicant will be provided information about how to upload for each piece of evidence. |
||||||
Evidence to support your application | Your Permanent Resident Card | Upload | Upload an image of both sides of your Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as the Alien Registration Card or Green Card). Make sure all text is clear and readable. If your card was lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged, and you are unable to upload a copy of it, you can upload a copy of another government-issued form of identification in the next section. |
If reason = 2.2.a 2.2.c 2.2.d 2.2.f 2.2.g1 2.2.g2 2.2.j 2.3.a 2.3.c 2.3.d |
OCCaca 041217 - RECOMMENDED EDIT: use the word another to describe the GI ID that is not the green card. ". . . Upload a copy of another government-issued form . . . " |
Copy updated to include recommendation. | |||||
Your photo identification | Upload | Upload an image of a government-issued form of identification that contains your name, date of birth, photograph, and signature. This can be one of the following: • Your passport • Your driver's license • Your military identification |
If reason = 2.2.a 2.2.b 2.2.c 2.2.i 2.3.a 2.3.b 2.3.c |
||||||||
Evidence of your Permanent Resident Card | Upload | Upload an image of the approval notice that you received when you applied for your current Green Card. This can be the Notice of Action (I-797) for one of the following forms: • Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (I-485) • Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence (I-751) • Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions (I-829) • Application to Adjust Status from Temporary to Permanent Resident (I-698) • Application for Suspension of Deportation or Special Rule Cancellation of Removal (I-881) • Application for Cancellation and Adjustment of Status for Certain Nonpermanent Residents (EOIR-42B) • Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (I-90) |
If reason = 2.2.b 2.3.b |
PLC(Alice): This phrasing sounds odd. 1. Why is the evidence title "Evidence of your Permanent Resident Card"? The person just uploaded images of the card two sections ago (or is this if you can't upload an image?). Should this instead say something like "Evidence of Your Lawful Permanent Resident Status"? 2. You don't receive a Form I-485; you submit one. The only form you would receive would be the I-797. I would change the intro sentence to say something like "Upload an image of the form you submitted to apply for your current Green Card or the approval notice you received for that form." 3. Do they have to upload the entire form? Or just the first page? 4. Please try to avoid using "issuance." |
This is for applicants who do not have their card anymore. Copy updated to include PL recommendations. |
FOD (Valerie): The applications themselves are not evidence of LPR status, this would only be helpful if we lost all of the person's records. In that case, I think we would RFE for copies of all documents filed with USCIS so we could re-create the record. I think the I-797 or an I-551 ADIT stamp would be more appropriate evidence to show LPR status. I believe someone could also have an IJ order granting adjustment. This should only be asked for those people who obtained their LPR status in the US. | The applicant will be asked to provide the approval notice (I-797) that they received. The list of applicable forms was taken directly from the I-90 instructions. | ||||

If reason = 2.2.i |
PLC (Alice): Should this say "…evidence of your temporary resident status."? (not "residence") | Copy updated to include PL recommendations. | FOD (Valerie): The Form I-700 was used to request temporary resident status for SAWs. When granted they would have been issued a temporary resident card Form I-688, Temporary Resident Alien Card. So, in this context they should provide the Form I-688 as evidence. This program ended on November 30, 1988 and conversion occurred on December 2, 1990. There should be very few of these if any. | This is taken directly from the I-90 instructions and our mandate is to maintain parity with the paper form. We can update the interactive form when the paper form changes. |
