Specific Instructions

Part 1. Information About You

Item Number 1. Alien Registration Number (A-Number) (if any). An Alien Registration Number, otherwise known

as an “A-Number,” is typically issued to persons who apply for, or are granted, certain immigration benefits. In addition

to USCIS, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration

Courts, and the U.S. Department of State (DOS) may also issue an A-Number to certain aliens. If you were issued an

A- Number, please enter it in the space provided.

Item Number 2. USCIS Online Account Number (if any). If you have previously filed an application, petition, or

request using the USCIS online filing system (previously called USCIS Electronic Immigration System (USCIS ELIS)),

provide the USCIS Online Account Number you were issued by the system. You can find your USCIS Online Account

Number by logging in to your account and going to the profile page. If you previously filed certain applications, petitions,

or requests on a paper form via a USCIS Lockbox facility, you may have received a USCIS Online Account Access Notice

issuing you a USCIS Online Account Number. If you received such a notice, your USCIS Online Account Number can be

found at the top of the notice. If you were issued a USCIS Online Account Number, enter it in the space provided. The

USCIS Online Account Number is not the same as an A-Number.

Item Numbers 3.a. - 3.c. Your Full Name. Provide your full legal name in the spaces provided.

Item Number 4. Has your name legally changed since the issuance of your Permanent Resident Card? Select the

appropriate box.

If your name has changed since the issuance of your Permanent Resident Card, select “Yes” and proceed to Item

Numbers 5.a. - 5.c. If your name was legally changed to another name, you must submit appropriate legal documents

that reflect the name change (for example a registered copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree, adoption decree,

or other court- issued document showing your name was legally changed). Legal name change documents submitted as

evidence of a name change must have been registered with the proper civil authority.

If your name has not changed since the issuance of your Permanent Resident Card or if you never previously received

your Permanent Resident Card, select “No” and proceed to Item Numbers 6.a. - 6.f.

Item Numbers 5.a. - 5.c. Provide your name exactly as it is printed on your Permanent Resident Card. Provide

your full name exactly as it appears on your current Permanent Resident Card, even if your name has changed since that

card was issued.

Item Numbers 6.a. - 6.i. Mailing Address. Provide your complete U.S. mailing address in the spaces provided. You

may list a valid U.S. residence, APO, In Care Of Name, or commercial address. You may also list a U.S. Post Office

address (PO Box) if that is how you receive your mail. If your mail is sent to someone other than yourself, please include

an “In Care Of Name” as part of your mailing address. If your U.S. mailing address is in a U.S. territory and it contains

an urbanization name, list the urbanization name in the “In Care Of Name” space provided.

NOTE: USCIS will not mail a Permanent Resident Card to a foreign mailing address, only to a valid U.S. mailing

address. If you are going to travel abroad and your Permanent Resident Card is about to expire, USCIS recommends you

apply for and receive your new Permanent Resident Card prior to departing the United States.

NOTE FOR ALIEN COMMUTERS: If you are currently an alien commuter who continues to reside in a foreign

contiguous territory, you may provide a foreign mailing address. If you are an alien commuter who will take up actual

residence in the United States, provide your U.S. mailing address.

NOTE: USCIS will not mail a Permanent Resident Card to a foreign mailing address, only to a valid U.S. mailing

address.
