Instructions For Application To Replace Permanent Resident Card (Form I-90) (Page 8 of 13) in pdf

NOTE: If you believe you were misclassified as a conditional permanent resident, because you were married for two or

more years when you obtained conditional permanent residence, file Form I-90 under reason “2.d.” and include a copy of

your marriage certificate with your application.

NOTE: Do not select this reason for filing if the error was not caused by DHS. Instead, you must file using reason

“3.e.” (My name or other biographic information has been legally changed since issuance of my existing card).

Item Number 3.e. My name or other biographic information has legally changed since the issuance of my existing

card. Select this reason if your biographical information has changed since the issuance of your card. You may also

select this reason if your card has incorrect data, and the error was not caused by USCIS. Submit a copy of the original

court order reflecting your new name or a copy of your original marriage certificate, divorce decree, birth certificate,

adoption decree, passport or applicable court documents, etc. A marriage certificate or court documents submitted as

evidence of name change must have been registered with the proper civil authority. You must include the filing fee and

biometric services fee with your application if filing using reason “3.e.”
