Form I-90 in short
Form I-90 is how a permanent resident asks USCIS to renew or replace a Green Card. Use it when your card is expiring, expired, lost, stolen, damaged, has wrong data, or when you turn 14. You can file it online with a USCIS account or on paper by mail.
| Issued by | U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) |
|---|---|
| Current version | Edition 01/20/25 (checked 2026-10-25) |
| Who fills it in | Lawful permanent residents and permanent residents in commuter status who need to renew or replace their card. Conditional permanent residents can use it to replace a card, but not when the card is expired or will expire within 90 days. They file Form I-751 or Form I-829 instead. |
| Who receives it | U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). |
| Where to send it | File online through a USCIS online account (my.uscis.gov), or mail it. U.S. Postal Service: USCIS, Attn: I-90, P.O. Box 21262, Phoenix, AZ 85036-1262. FedEx, UPS, and DHL: USCIS, Attn: I-90 (Box 21262), 2108 E. Elliot Rd., Tempe, AZ 85284-1806. Check the USCIS I-90 page before mailing because addresses can change. |
| Deadline | No single deadline. For renewal, you can file when the card has expired or will expire within 6 months. A child who turns 14 must register by filing within 30 days after the 14th birthday. |
| Fee | As listed on Form G-1055 (edition 10/16/26), checked 2026-10-25: $465 paper filing or $415 online filing for general filing. $0 in some cases, such as a card issued with a DHS error, a card returned to USCIS as undeliverable, or a 14 year old whose card expires after the 16th birthday.

How to fill out Form I-90, line by line
| Part 1, Item 1 | A-Number Your Alien Registration Number. It is printed on your Green Card and USCIS letters. If you have none, write N/A. |
| Part 1, Item 2 | USCIS Online Account Number You only have this if you received a receipt number starting with IOE. It is not the same as your A-Number. |
| Part 1, Items 3 to 5 | Your full name and name change Give your current legal name. If your name changed since the card was issued, answer Yes and also give the name exactly as printed on the card. |
| Part 1, Items 6 to 7 | Mailing and physical address USCIS mails the new card only to a valid U.S. address. Add a physical address if it differs from the mailing address. |
| Part 1, Items 8 to 16 | Personal details Sex, date of birth, place of birth, parents' first names, class of admission (the code on your card, such as IR2), date of admission, and Social Security number if you have one. |
| Part 2, Item 1 | Your status Choose lawful permanent resident, permanent resident in commuter status, or conditional permanent resident. This decides whether you use Section A or Section B. |
| Part 2, Section A or B | Reason for application Pick one reason, such as lost or stolen card, card expired or expiring within 6 months, name change, DHS error, or turning 14. Each reason has its own evidence list in the instructions. |
| Part 3 | Processing information Where you applied for your immigrant visa or adjustment, where it was granted, and your port of entry if you came with an immigrant visa. Also answer the questions on removal proceedings and abandonment of status, and give your biographic details. |
| Part 5 | Applicant statement and signature Say whether you read the form yourself or used an interpreter or preparer. Sign by hand. USCIS rejects unsigned forms. |
| Parts 6 to 8 | Interpreter, preparer, and additional information Only filled in if someone helped you. Part 8 is extra space for longer answers. |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving out the family name, mailing address, or date of birth in Part 1. USCIS says it will reject the form if these are missing.
- Forgetting to sign the form. USCIS rejects unsigned forms.
- Choosing reason 'card expired or will expire within 6 months' when the card still has more than 6 months left. The instructions say this may lead to denial.
- Choosing 'card issued but never received' when the card was mailed to your address and not returned to USCIS. In that case the instructions say to use the lost, stolen, or destroyed reason.
- Conditional residents using I-90 when the 2 year card is expiring within 90 days. They need Form I-751 or I-829 instead.
- Mixing pages from different form editions. USCIS may reject the form.
- Giving a foreign mailing address. USCIS mails the card only to a U.S. address, except for some commuter cases.
- Sending the original card when only a copy is needed. Only the DHS error reason asks for the original card.
Questions about Form I-90
Can I file Form I-90 online?
Yes. USCIS lets you file I-90 online through a USCIS online account, or by mail on paper. The online fee listed on G-1055 is lower than the paper fee.
How early can I renew my Green Card?
You can use the expiring card reason when your card has expired or will expire within the next 6 months.
What proves my status while my renewal is pending?
USCIS says the I-90 receipt notice for a renewal, together with your expired card, is evidence of permanent resident status for 36 months from the card's expiration date.
Do I need to file I-90 when my child turns 14?
Yes, the instructions say a permanent resident must register within 30 days after turning 14 by filing Form I-90. The fee depends on whether the current card expires before or after the 16th birthday.
Should I file I-90 or apply for citizenship?
USCIS suggests checking your naturalization eligibility before filing I-90. Applying for naturalization does not remove the duty to carry a valid card.
Will I need a biometrics appointment?
USCIS may schedule a biometrics appointment to take fingerprints, a photo, and a signature. If you miss it, USCIS may deny the application.
