You have two options for filing your Form I-90 application with USCIS:
- Online; or
- By mail (paper).
Filing Your Form I-90 online
You must create a USCIS online account to file your form online. Having an online account will also allow you to:
- Pay your filing fee online;
- Check the status of your case;
- Receive notifications and case updates;
- View personalized case completion date estimates;
- Respond to requests for evidence; and
- Manage your contact information, including updating your address.
Attorneys and accredited representatives: You can also create an online account, which will allow you to manage all of your clients’ applications in one place.
You cannot file your Form I-90 online if you are applying for a fee waiver.
Filing Your Form I-90 by mail:
U.S. Postal Service (USPS):
USCIS
Attn: I-90
P.O. Box 21262
Phoenix, AZ 85036-1262
FedEx, UPS, and DHL deliveries:
USCIS
Attn: I-90 (Box 21262)
2108 E. Elliot Rd.

Applications and petitions that are not mailed to the appropriate filing location may experience processing delays.
If you file Form I-90 on paper, we will scan the documents into our system for electronic processing. If you do not already have a USCIS online account, we will create one for you once we receive your paper application. You will receive a USCIS Account Acceptance Notice with instructions on how to access your USCIS online account.
Note for Attorneys and Accredited Representatives: You should have only one USCIS online representative account. When you receive an Account Acceptance Notice for a paper form filed at a USCIS lockbox for your client, please ensure that you enter the same personal information that you provided on the Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative, submitted with your client’s original application, petition, or request. If the information you use to access your online representative account does not match the information you provided on the Form G-28, you may be unable to access your client’s case.
Even if you do not use your USCIS online account, we will continue to process your properly completed and signed Form I-90. You will receive notifications and updates about your application by mail through the U.S. Postal Service. If you need assistance, contact the USCIS Contact Center.
If you move, you must update your address with USCIS. You can do so through your USCIS online account or by filing Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card (online or by mail).
You can find the filing fee for Form I-90 by visiting our Fee Schedule page.
If you file your Form I-90 by mail (paper), you can pay the fee with a money order, personal check, cashier’s check, or pay by credit card or debit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions. If you pay by check, you must make your check payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
When you send a payment, you agree to pay for a government service. Filing fees are final and non-refundable, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request, or if you withdraw your request. If you pay by credit card or debit card, you cannot later dispute the payment. Use our Fee Calculator to help determine your fee.
If you are submitting multiple forms, pay each filing fee separately. We are transitioning to electronically processing immigration benefit requests, which requires us to use multiple systems to process your package. We may reject your entire package if you submit a single, combined payment for multiple forms.
If you are filing Form I-90 because you never received your Green Card, you do not have to pay a filing fee as long as you meet these criteria:
- We mailed the card more than 30 days ago;
- It was returned to us as undeliverable; and
- You have not moved from the address you provided us.
However, you must submit:
- A copy of the Form I-797, Notice of Action, for the form that USCIS approved to grant your Green Card; for example, Form I-485, Form I-751, Form I-829, or Form I-90; and
- A copy of government-issued identification that contains your name, date of birth, photograph and signature.
If you are filing the Form I-90 because your current Green Card contains incorrect information due to a Department of Homeland Security error, such as a misspelled name, you do not have to pay a filing fee. However, you must send us:
- The original card that contains the incorrect information; and
- Evidence documenting your correct name or biographical information.
Complete all sections of the form. We will reject the form if these fields are missing:
- Part 1 – Information About You
- Family Name
- Mailing Address
- Date of Birth
Filing Tips: Review our Tips for Filing Forms by Mail page for information on how to ensure we will accept your form.
Don’t forget to sign your form. We will reject any unsigned form.

Texas Service Center
6046 N Belt Line Rd. STE 114
