Form AR-11: Alien’s Change of Address Card
Fill Form AR-11 in the FormVeritas Form Workspace and run 8 checks written for this form. Catch blank answers, conflicting dates and missing signatures before USCIS does.
What is Form AR-11?
Form AR-11 is used to tell USCIS about a new address. Most noncitizens in the United States are required by law to report an address change within 10 days of moving. Filing it updates the address on USCIS records but does not by itself change the address on every pending case.
Who files it: Noncitizens living in the United States, including lawful permanent residents and most nonimmigrants, who have moved.
What USCIS typically asks for
- Full name, A-Number if one exists, and date of birth
- Old and new U.S. physical addresses, plus a mailing address if different
- Signature of the person whose address changed
- Can also be submitted online through the USCIS change-of-address tool
