The mailing addresses for USCIS in Los Angeles are listed on the back page. The USCIS will send you an appointment date to visit an ASC so that you can be fingerprinted. The Application Support Centers for New York City are listed on the back page. The appointment letter will give you the address of one of these centers. You may also use the USCIS website listed below to file your application and request an appointment. If you are ineligible for electronic filing, you must mail a completed I-90 Form Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (green card) to the USCIS in Los Angeles.

2. A check or money order for $ 365.00 for the filing fee and another check or money order for $ 85.00 for fingerprinting; Make them payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security;
3. A copy of expiring green card (both sides) if available; and
4. Identification such as drivers license, passport, or a state issued identification card with a picture of you. (Mail only copies.)

On their appointment date, applicants who have changed their names from the names on their green cards must bring original documents or records such as a marriage certificate, court order, or divorce decree with them to the ASC.
