Green Card Renewal Services
Supporting Permanent Residents in Renewing and Replacing Expired, Lost, or Stolen Green Cards
If your Green Card is expired, expiring, lost, or needs to be corrected, our team helps lawful permanent residents renew or replace their Green Cards.
Green Card renewal is a common process but even small mistakes can lead to delays, rejected applications, or unnecessary stress. We provide clear guidance and attorney-led support so your renewal is handled correctly.
Who The Green Card Renewal Is For
This service is designed for individuals who already have lawful permanent resident status and need to renew or replace their physical green card.
You may need green card renewal help if:
Your 10-year green card is expired or will expire soon
Your green card was lost, stolen, or damaged
Your name or personal information has changed
Your green card contains an error
You need a valid card for work, travel, or identification
Conditional residents with a 2-year green card usually need a different process (Form I-751). Contact our team to help you determine the right next step.
What Our Green Card Renewal Service Covers
Our Green Card renewal service typically includes:
- Attorney review of your renewal eligibility and filing reason
- Preparation and filing of Form I-90
- Review of supporting documents for accuracy and completeness
- Guidance on biometrics appointments, if required
- Monitoring of USCIS notices and updates
- Support if USCIS requests additional information
Our goal is to help you avoid common issues that can slow down or complicate the renewal process.
Why Green Card Renewal Still Matters (Even If You Are a Permanent Resident)
In many cases, an expired Green Card does not mean you lose your permanent resident status. However, an expired or incorrect card can still create problems. A valid Green Card is often required for:
- Employment verification
- International travel
- State ID or driver’s license renewal
- Proving lawful permanent resident status
Required Documents
- Copy of your current or expired Green Card (front and back)
- Government-issued photo identification
- Prior USCIS notices related to your Green Card (if available)
Additional Documents (Situation-Specific)
- Legal documents showing a name change
- Evidence showing correct biographic information
- An explanation if your card was lost or stolen
Submitting incomplete or incorrect documents can cause delays. Consult a green card renewal attorney to ensure everything is prepared properly before filing.
Common Green Card Renewal Issues We Help You Prevent
Green card renewal is often treated as routine. In practice, small mistakes can cause long delays or denials. Common issues include:
- Filing the wrong form
- Errors in names, dates, or A-numbers
- Misunderstanding renewal versus permanent resident status
- Missed or mishandled USCIS notices
An expert review can help reduce these common problems, ensure your application is accurate and complete, and prevent delays or denials.
What Happens If You Do Not Renew on Time
- Difficulty proving work authorization (Form I-9)
- Travel complications when re-entering the U.S.
- Issues renewing a driver’s license or state ID
- Delays when applying for U.S. citizenship
Problems responding to USCIS or government requests

Travel may be possible in some cases, but it’s important to understand potential risks before leaving the United States
Can I work while my Green Card renewal is pending?
In many situations, yes. However, having proper documentation is important, and individual circumstances vary.
