Effective Sept. 26, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is automatically extending the validity of Permanent Resident Cards (also known as Green Cards) to 24 months for lawful permanent residents who file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.

Lawful permanent residents who properly file Form I-90 to renew an expiring or expired Green Card may receive this extension. Form I-90 receipt notices had previously provided a 12-month extension of the validity of a Green Card.

USCIS has updated the language on Form I-90 receipt notices to extend the validity of a Green Card for 24 months for individuals with a newly filed Form I-90. On Sept. 26, USCIS began printing amended receipt notices for individuals with a pending Form I-90.

These receipt notices can be presented with an expired Green Card as evidence of continued status. This extension is expected to help applicants who experience longer processing times, because they will receive proof of lawful permanent resident status as they await their renewed Green Card.

If you no longer have your Green Card and you need evidence of your lawful permanent resident status while waiting to receive your replacement Green Card, you may request an appointment at a USCIS Field Office by contacting the USCIS Contact Center, and we may issue you an Alien Documentation, Identification, and Telecommunications (ADIT) stamp after you file Form I-90.

"When to Replace Your Green Card"

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a previous version of the alien registration card (for example, USCIS Form AR-3, Form AR-103 or Form I-151, which are no longer valid to prove your immigration status) and must replace it with a current Green Card;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.

Conditional Permanent Residents

If you are a conditional permanent resident, you must replace your Green Card if:
· Your previous card was lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed;
· 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.

Versions of Green Cards That Are No Longer Valid
If you have a previous version of the noncitizen registration card (for example, USCIS Form AR-3, Form AR-103 or Form I-151), you must replace it with a current Green Card.
