USCIS Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card
- used by permanent residents to replace or renew green card.
- used by conditional permanent residents to replace a green card.
- not used by conditional residents applying for an extension or renewal of their status.
What should I do?
A Permanent Resident Card, otherwise known as a green card, is the official documentation of your permanent resident status. Although your status does not expire, the card must be renewed every 10 years. It is a vital document for proving your eligibility for employment in the U.S. and traveling internationally.
If you are a Conditional Permanent Resident your green card expires after two years. You may use Form I-90 to replace it, but you should not file Form I-90 to renew. What should I do?
- In addition to renewal, there are several valid reasons to replace your green card. The most common reasons are:
- Your card was lost, stolen or destroyed
- Your card was issued but never received
- Your card was mutilated
- Your card has incorrect information
- Your name or other biographic information has been legally changed
- You have reached your 14th birthday and are registering as required
It will take a few months to receive your new green card. You should renew approximately six months prior to the expiration date listed on the Permanent Resident Card. You may not use Form I-90 more than six months in advance. If your green card has already expired, you should file Form I-90 immediately.
If you are a Conditional Permanent Resident your green card expires after two years. You may use Form I-90 to replace it, but you should not file an I-90 to renew. What should I do?
- Conditional Permanent Residents should only file Form I-90 to replace a lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated green card.
- Conditional Permanent Residents should not use Form I-90 to extend permanent resident status or renew green card.
- I-751 – If you became a conditional permanent resident through marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and your conditional status is expiring within the next 90 days, file Form I-751 – Petition to Remove Conditions of Residence.
- I-829 – If you became a conditional resident based on a financial investment in a U.S. business, file Form I-829 Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions.
