The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has reminded legal permanent residents of the procedures for replacing their Green Cards, particularly as of July 2026. The agency clarified that updating the card is necessary not only upon expiration but also in various other situations.

USCIS detailed that permanent residents must apply for a new card if it is lost, stolen, damaged, contains errors, or was not received. The agency also has specific provisions for conditional permanent residents who need to replace their cards under similar circumstances.

The application for a replacement Green Card is filed using Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. USCIS strongly encourages applicants to use the online filing system, citing its convenience for submitting applications, receiving notifications, tracking case status, and communicating with the agency. Once approved, the new card will be mailed to the applicant's registered address.
