About this service
Form I-90 covers three distinct situations for lawful permanent residents: an expiring or already-expired Green Card, a card that was lost, stolen, or damaged, and a card that simply has incorrect information printed on it. Each of these reasons calls for slightly different supporting documentation — a police report matters for a stolen card in a way it doesn't for a card that's just aged out, for instance — so the filing looks a little different depending on why you're submitting it. Your status as a permanent resident doesn't disappear when the physical card expires, but you still need a valid, current card to prove that status for employment, travel, and everyday identification purposes. DocPrep prepares the I-90 based on your specific reason for filing and helps you pull together whatever documentation that particular reason calls for.
Who this may apply to
- Permanent residents whose Green Card has expired or is expiring soon
- Permanent residents whose card was lost or stolen
- Permanent residents whose card was damaged and is no longer usable as identification
- Permanent residents who need to correct a name, date of birth, or other error on their card
What DocPrep can help prepare
- Preparing Form I-90 based on your specific reason for filing
- Organizing a police report or other supporting documentation when a card was lost or stolen
- Identifying which supporting evidence is needed to correct erroneous card information
- Reviewing the completed form with you before filing to confirm all details match your current records
How it works
- 1
Identify your filing reason
We confirm whether you're renewing, replacing, or correcting your card, since each path needs different support.
- 2
Gather supporting documents
You provide the police report, prior card copy, or correction evidence that matches your situation.
- 3
Prepare Form I-90
We complete the form based on your reason for filing and current information.
- 4
Review before filing
You review the completed application to confirm every detail is accurate.
Documents you may need
Requirements vary depending on your situation. Commonly requested information may include:
- Copy of your current or most recent Green Card (front and back, if available)
- Police report, if the card was lost or stolen
- Evidence supporting a correction, such as a birth certificate or court order for a legal name change
- Government-issued photo identification
- Passport-style photographs
Important notes
- Permanent resident status does not expire when the physical card does, but you need a valid card to prove that status in most everyday situations.
- The documentation that supports your filing depends heavily on your specific reason — a renewal, a replacement, and a correction each call for different evidence.

Related questions
Yes. Form I-90 is used to renew an expiring or expired Green Card, or to replace one that was lost, stolen, damaged, or contains incorrect information. Note that your permanent resident status itself doesn't expire when the physical card does, but you still need a valid card as proof of status, so it's worth renewing before it expires.
Let us know as soon as you're aware something is missing. Depending on the document, we can help you understand how to request a replacement (for example, a certified copy of a birth certificate) or discuss alternative evidence that may be acceptable for your filing. We'll never file something in a way you haven't reviewed.
No. Government filing fees are paid separately to the relevant agency (such as USCIS) and are not included in our document preparation fee. We will let you know the applicable government fee for your filing before you submit it.
Processing times are set by USCIS, the immigration court, or the relevant government agency, not by DocPrep. You can check current USCIS processing times using our Check Status tools or on the official USCIS website.
