Replacement of Green Card/Renewal of Green Card
The process for replacing or renewing a Green Card (Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card) depends on the reason for replacement and the individual’s circumstances.
When to Replace Your Green Card?
Lawful Permanent Residents
If you are a lawful permanent resident, you must replace your Green Card if:
- Your Green Card is either expired or will expire within the next six months;
- Your previous card was lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed;
- You received your card before you were 14 and you have reached your 14th birthday (unless your card expires before your 16th birthday);
- You have been a commuter and are now taking up actual residence in the United States;
- You have been a permanent resident residing in the United States and are now taking up commuter status;
- Your status has been automatically converted to permanent resident status (this includes special agricultural worker applicants who converted to permanent resident status);
- You have a previous version of the alien registration card (for example, USCIS Form AR-3, Form AR-103 or Form I-151, which are no longer valid to prove your immigration status) and must replace it with a current Green Card;
- Your card contains incorrect information;
- You have legally changed your name or other biographic information on the card since you last received your card or
- You never received the previous card we issued to you.
