I-90 Green Card Replacement Guide for Bellefontaine
Form I-90 is the USCIS form for renewing or replacing a Permanent Resident Card. Bellefontaine residents use it when a green card is expiring, expired, lost, stolen, damaged, printed with an error, or needs updated information after a legal name change. This is different from Form I-751, which is for removing conditions from a two-year conditional green card.
How we organize the filing path
Identify why the green card is being replaced: expiration, loss, theft, damage, USCIS error, or name change.
Gather the current card if available, front and back, or alternate photo ID if the card is missing.
Prepare explanation and supporting records for lost, stolen, damaged, or corrected cards.
Check the mailing address carefully because USCIS notices and the replacement card depend on it.
Keep the I-797 receipt notice because it may extend proof of permanent resident status while the case is pending.

- ✓Current or expired green card, front and back
- ✓Government-issued photo ID
- ✓Police report or written explanation if stolen or lost
