AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card
If you have filed an immigration benefit request with USCIS, you must notify us of any changes of address as soon as possible to ensure you receive all correspondence and benefits without delay. If you are a alien in the United States, you must report any change of address to USCIS within 10 days of moving. This reporting requirement does not apply to A and G visa holders and visa waiver visitors.
We strongly encourage you to submit your change of address through a USCIS online account. This self-service online tool:
Meets the legal requirement to notify us that you have moved;
Eliminates the need to file a paper Form AR-11;
Updates your address almost immediately in our case management systems; and
Helps ensure that you receive important mail from USCIS at the correct address.
You also may submit a paper Form AR-11 by mail to report your change your address. This meets the legal requirement to notify USCIS of a change of address. However, because filing a paper-based Form AR-11 does not provide an automated update to your address in USCIS systems, we strongly encourage requestors to use the self-service change of address tool available in their USCIS online account when reporting a change of address.
You can find detailed information about how to change an address, including special instructions for specific populations, on the How to Change Your Address page.
