My permanent resident card was lost, damaged or has incorrect information

Immigration. My permanent resident card was lost, damaged or has incorrect information Next steps: Identify whether the card is permanent or conditional and why it needs replacement. Locate the A-number, card copy and any delivery or printing-error notice. Use official replacement guidance to confirm the correct process, edition and reason-specific fee. For a card that never arrived, check the missing-card inquiry route before assuming a paid replacement is needed. Save the filing receipt and ask USCIS what temporary evidence may be available for the actual need. Get individual advice before travel or employment decisions when proof is unclear. Follow identity-verification or biometrics instructions and retain the corrected card and notices. Documents: Card copy or A-number; Identity document; Approval or delivery notice; Evidence of a printing error; Relevant name-change record; Replacement receipt This guide does not authorize travel or work; conditional residence needs a separate check.

Replace or renew a resident card

Replace or renew a resident card Next steps: Identify loss, non-delivery, error, expiration or conditional residence. Complete I-90 only when its category fits; removing conditions uses a different process. Check current fee and submission address or online route and keep receipt proof. Form: Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (required). Eligible card renewal or replacement. Timing: Follow current card-specific instructions and any USCIS notice. Trigger: Card condition, expiration, non-delivery or agency request. Action: Check whether a replacement, non-delivery inquiry or removal-of-conditions filing is required. Exceptions: Conditional residents must not use ordinary renewal to replace the removal-of-conditions process. Authority: USCIS I-90 instructions; USAGov Green Card guidance. Receiving office: USCIS card-replacement intake Method: Official USCIS account where eligible or current I-90 paper destination. Venue: Federal application; current form category and filing instructions control. Local check: Available to residents of all 75 Arkansas counties. Confirm the responsible court, agency or provider and accepted delivery method. County selection identifies referrals; it does not establish venue, a local office or an available appointment. Limits: No travel or work authorization is established by this profile. Editorial filing navigation, not professionally reviewed. No calculator or outcome guarantee.

Green card replacement: existing status and the correct form

Green card replacement: existing status and the correct form Qualifications and requirements: Form I-90 is for lawful permanent residents and permanent residents in commuter status replacing or renewing an existing card. Conditional residents can use it for certain replacement needs. A conditional resident cannot use I-90 to replace a card that has expired or will expire within 90 days; removing conditions is a separate petition process. Documents to prepare (confirm what is required): Existing card copy if available; Identity and USCIS notices; Evidence of loss, damage or incorrect information specified by current instructions Exceptions and checks: Marriage-based conditions generally use I-751; qualifying investment-based conditions use I-829. I-90 does not remove conditions. Questions to ask: Is the card conditional or a regular permanent resident card?; What replacement reason and expiration date appear on the records? Next steps: Identify the card category before choosing a form.; Confirm accepted edition, evidence, fee and filing route on the current USCIS form page.; Ask authorized counsel about conditional or disputed status. Limits: Replacement prerequisites do not establish eligibility for an initial green card. Federal routes apply in all Arkansas counties. Documents are preparation suggestions, not universal requirements; send records only through verified secure agency channels.
