What documents do I need to renew my green card?

In order to renew your green card, you must obtain and complete Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card. This form is used to apply for a new or replaced Permanent Resident Card, commonly known as a Green Card. When you submit Form I-90, you must also provide proof of your U.S. citizenship or lawful immigration status, such as your current green card or any other documents issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Additionally, you will need to provide two identical passport-style photographs which must meet official requirements, such as a white background. In Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles provides passport-style photos for a fee. You must also provide evidence of your identity, such as a driver’s license, state-issued photo identification card, or valid foreign passport. You must submit the application fee for Form I-90, which is $455 as of 2021. The USCIS will also require evidence of the reasons for replacing your green card, such as a document showing a name change, if that applies. You must submit all requested documents and fees to the USCIS in order to renew your green card.

Para renovar su Green Card, es necesario tener algunos documentos. Primero, debe presentar la Aplicación de Residencia Permanente (Formulario I-90). En este formulario, deberá proporcionar su información personal como nombre, fecha de nacimiento, dirección y otra información. Además, debe presentar una identificación con fotografía válida. Esto incluye un pasaporte válido, un documento de identificación emitido por el gobierno de su país de origen o una tarjeta militar. También es necesario presentar el original de su tarjeta verde, junto con una fotocopia por ambos lados. Finalmente, se le solicitará que proporcione alguna evidencia de que todavía se considera un residente permanente. Esta evidencia puede incluir un comprobante de trabajo, una declaración de impuestos, un certificado de matrimonio, un certificado de nacimiento, un documento de separación o un comprobante de estudios. Es importante tener en cuenta que la renovación de la tarjeta verde puede tomar algunos meses y que pueden aplicarse ciertas tarifas.
