How to File Form I-90
If a U.S. permanent resident’s green card has been lost, stolen, destroyed or is about to expire he/she should file Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, to have it replaced.
Steps to File Form I-90
1. The applicant completes Form I-90.
2. The applicant attaches a copy of both sides of their green card to the application, if they have it.
If the applicant is missing their green card, they must attach a letter, explaining when and possibly where they lost their green card and also attach supporting documents that prove their identity and immigration status.
3. The applicant attaches the filing fee of $450, which includes a $365 form fee and $85 biometric services fee, to the I-90 application.
If the applicant’s card was issued but never received, they are not required to pay the fee.
4. The applicant files the application at the USCIS Phoenix Lockbox facility.
