Fill out USCIS Form I-90 Online in 2026

Form I-90, the Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, is used by lawful permanent residents to request a new Green Card. This form is important because it helps ensure that your identification remains current and valid.

You may need to file it to renew an expiring or expired Green Card, to replace a card that is lost, stolen, damaged, or was never received, to correct a DHS error on the card, to update personal information such as your name, or if you have reached age 14 and need to register.

Form I-90 is used by lawful permanent residents to request a replacement for their Green Card:

• to renew an expiring or expired 10-year Green Card.
• to replace a lost, stolen, damaged, or mutilated card.
• to replace a card that was issued but never received.
• to correct incorrect information caused by a DHS error.
• to update personal information, such as a legal name change.
• to register upon reaching age 14.
• to replace an outdated card version (e.g., old Form AR-3, I-151, or prior editions).
• to update status changes such as commuter to resident or vice versa.

Part 1 — Information About You:

• A-Number: Enter your Alien Registration Number, found on your current or previous Green Card.

• USCIS Online Account Number: Enter if you have one from a prior online filing. Otherwise, leave blank.

• Full legal name: Enter your family name (last name), given name (first name), and middle name. Your new card will be issued in this name.

• Mailing address: Provide the U.S. address where you want to receive your new card. USCIS mail is not forwarded by USPS, so ensure this address is current.

• Physical address: Provide only if different from your mailing address.

• Personal details: Enter your gender, date of birth, country, and city/town of birth, mother's and father's names.

• Class of admission: Enter the visa category under which you were admitted as a permanent resident (e.g., IR1, F2A, EB-3). Found on your Green Card or immigrant visa.

• Date of admission: Enter the date you were granted permanent resident status.

• U.S. Social Security Number: Enter if you have one.

Lawful permanent residents and permanent residents in commuter status must complete an I-90 application to replace or renew their Green Card. Conditional permanent residents may also use Form I-90 to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged card, but NOT to remove conditions — that requires Form I-751 or I-829. Common reasons include: expiring or expired cards, lost/stolen/damaged cards, name changes, reaching age 14, DHS errors on the card, and outdated card versions.

After completion, the form is used by immigration authorities to process requests for Green Card replacements or renewals.

You don't need to file Form I-90 if you are a conditional permanent resident whose 2-year Green Card is about to expire — instead, file Form I-751 (marriage-based) or Form I-829 (investment-based) to remove conditions. However, conditional residents may use Form I-90 to replace a lost, stolen, or damaged card, provided it is not within 90 days of expiration.

The deadline for Form I-90 varies based on the situation. For Green Card renewal, you should file within 6 months before your card expires. If your card is lost, stolen, or damaged, file a report as soon as you can.

Additionally, if you have a name change or need to update biographical information, submit the form when the change happens. If you did not file within 30 days of turning 14, you must still file, but you should select the reason that your card has expired or will expire within 6 months, rather than the age-14 reason.

You can access a blank version of this form already pre-loaded in our platform, ready for you to fill out and download.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues Form I-90.

You can fill out and electronically sign Form I-90 using CookPDF's built-in e-signature tool — simply draw, type, or upload your signature directly on the form. If filing by mail, print the completed form and add your handwritten signature in the designated area in Part 5. If filing online through USCIS, you will sign electronically through your USCIS online account.

In both cases, USCIS will also require you to appear for a biometrics appointment, where you will provide fingerprints, a photograph, and sign an oath reaffirming the information in your application.

Form I-90 must be submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You can file online by creating an USCIS online account or by mail.
