What is Green Card Renewal (I-90)?
Green Card renewal, formalized through Form I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card), is the process by which lawful permanent residents apply to replace their permanent resident card when it expires, is lost, stolen, damaged, or contains incorrect information.
Although permanent resident status itself does not expire, the physical card has a validity of 10 years (or 2 years for conditional residents) and must be renewed to maintain valid documentation.
Keeping your green card current is essential to legally prove your permanent resident status in various situations: when traveling internationally (to re-enter the U.S.), during employment eligibility verification (Form I-9), when applying for government benefits, when applying for a driver’s license, and in any interaction with authorities that requires proof of legal status.
The renewal process via Form I-90 involves submitting documentation that confirms your identity, correctly completing the form, paying the applicable fees, and undergoing biometrics collection (fingerprints and photograph).

When should I renew my green card?
It is recommended to start the renewal process approximately six months before the expiration date printed on the card. If your green card has already expired, you still maintain your permanent resident status, but you should renew it as soon as possible to avoid practical issues with travel, employment, and other situations that require valid documentation.
What happens if my Green Card expires? Do I lose my status?
The expiration of your Green Card does not mean you automatically lose your lawful permanent resident status. However, you will need a valid card to prove your status, work, and, crucially, re-enter the U.S. after a trip. You should renew it immediately.
How long does the I-90 process take?
The processing time varies depending on the USCIS service center. After filing, USCIS sends a Receipt Notice (I-797) which, in some cases, can serve as temporary proof of status by extending the validity of the expired Green Card.
Can I use Form I-90 if my Green Card is Conditional?
No. Form I-90 is only for renewing 10-year cards or replacing lost cards. To remove conditions (after 2 years), you must use Form I-751 (for a marriage-based Green Card) or Form I-829 (for an EB-5 Green Card).
Do I need to renew my green card if I am already eligible for naturalization?
If you have already met the time requirements for naturalization (5 years, or 3 if married to a U.S. citizen), you can choose to apply directly for citizenship through Form N-400 instead of renewing your green card. However, if you do not plan to naturalize immediately or do not yet meet all the requirements, you should renew your green card to maintain valid documentation.
It is recommended to start the renewal process approximately six months before the expiration date printed on the card. If your green card has already expired, you still maintain your permanent resident status, but you should renew it as soon as possible to avoid practical issues with travel, employment, and other situations that require valid documentation.
