What is Form I-90?
Form I-90 is used to replace or renew a Permanent Resident Card (green card), for example if it was lost, stolen, damaged, expiring, or has incorrect information. After approval, USCIS produces and mails a new card. Conditional residents with expiring two-year cards generally use Form I-751 or I-829 instead.
Who files it: Lawful permanent residents, including those whose card was never received or contains a USCIS error.
What USCIS typically asks for
- Reason for the replacement or renewal
- Copy of the current or expired green card, if available
- Evidence of a legal name change, if applicable
- Biometrics appointment, if USCIS schedules one
