Which Documents Do I Need for I-90?

Need a new Green Card but worried about all the paperwork? We hear you, and that's where our team at US Immigration Consultants comes in! We can help you navigate the process of filing Form I-90 to replace your Green Card.

What Documents Do I Need?

The documents you need depend on why you're replacing your card. Here's a quick rundown:

  • Lost, Stolen, Expired, or Damaged Card: Include a copy of your current or expired card.

  • Name Change: Provide a copy of your legal name change document (marriage certificate, court order).

  • Bio Info Change: Changing your date of birth or gender? Include a copy of your birth certificate or court order showing the update.

  • Never Received Card: If your Green Card was issued but never arrived, include proof of your immigration status (passport with admission stamp or copy of your I-551 stamp).

General Tips to Avoid Delays:

  • Copies Are Key: For most documents, a copy will do unless USCIS asks for the original.

  • Translation Station: Documents in another language? Include a certified English translation.

  • Fee Friendly: Don't forget the filing fee! Check the USCIS website for the latest amount (it changes sometimes).

Common Reasons to Replace Your Green Card:

  • Lost, stolen, destroyed, or damaged card

  • Incorrect information due to USCIS error

  • Legal name or biographical information change

  • Expired card or one expiring within six months

  • Commuter status change (starting or ending)

  • Never received your original card

How to File:

  • Online is Easy: You can file Form I-90 electronically through the USCIS website.

  • Paper Pusher? Mailing your application is also an option. Check the USCIS website for the most up-to-date mailing address.

Remember: Including all the required documents and fees helps avoid delays. USCIS guidelines can change, so always refer to their website for the latest instructions.
