Legal Permanent Residents

If you are a legal permanent resident, you must replace your Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) if:

- Your permanent resident card has expired or will expire within the next six months;
- Your previous card was lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed;
- You received your card before the age of 14 and are now 14 years old (unless your card expires before you turn 16);
- You have been a commuter and are now taking up formal residence in the United States;
- You have been a legal permanent resident living in the United States and now acquire commuter status;
- Your status has been automatically converted to that of a legal permanent resident (this includes applicants who are special agricultural workers converted to the status of a legal permanent resident);
- You have an older version of the alien registration card (e.g., Form AR-3, Form AR-103, or Form I-151 from USCIS – none of which are currently valid for proving your immigration status) and must replace it with a current permanent resident card;
- Your card contains incorrect information;
- You have legally changed your name or other biographical information on the card after you received it; or
- You never received the previous card we issued to you.
