About this service
For individuals currently holding DACA status, DocPrep prepares renewal paperwork — the DACA request itself on Form I-821D and the associated Form I-765 work authorization renewal that typically accompanies it — based on current USCIS guidance and the information you provide. DACA's availability and specific requirements have shifted over time due to ongoing litigation and changes in federal policy, so a renewal filed today may follow different guidance than one filed a year or two ago. We track your renewal filing window and prepare the paperwork based on the guidance actually in effect at the time you file, rather than relying on what applied previously.
Who this may apply to
- Current DACA recipients approaching their renewal filing window
What DocPrep can help prepare

How it works
- 1
Confirm your current renewal window
We check your current DACA expiration date and current USCIS guidance on when renewal requests should be submitted.
- 2
Review your information
You confirm your current information and any changes since your last renewal.
- 3
Prepare the renewal paperwork
We prepare Form I-821D and the associated Form I-765 renewal based on current guidance.
- 4
Review before filing
We review the completed renewal package with you before you submit it.
Documents you may need
Requirements vary depending on your situation. Commonly requested information may include:
- Copy of your most recent DACA approval notice
- Current Employment Authorization Document (EAD)
- Any updated biographic information since your last renewal
- Passport-style photographs
Important notes
- DACA policy and availability has changed over time due to litigation and federal policy shifts — we prepare filings based on the guidance in effect at the time of filing.
- Because requirements can change with little notice, reach out early in your renewal window rather than waiting until close to expiration.
