Use this form to replace your Green Card.
Before filing Form I-90, use our Check Naturalization Eligibility tool below to see if you are eligible to become a U.S. citizen.
Check Naturalization Eligibility
DO NOT submit this form if you are a conditional resident seeking to remove conditions on your Green Card.
If you are a conditional resident, you must submit one of the following:
- Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, to remove conditions on a Green Card obtained through marriage; or
- Form I-829, Petition by Investor to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status, to remove conditions on a Green Card obtained through financial investment in a U.S. business.
As a lawful permanent resident, you must have a valid, unexpired Green Card or equivalent documentation with you at all times. Applying for naturalization does not change this requirement.

If you move, you must update your address with USCIS. You can do so through your USCIS online account or by filing Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card (online or by mail).
You can find the filing fee for Form I-90 by visiting our Fee Schedule page.
