Form I-90 is the application to replace or renew a Permanent Resident Card. It is filed by a permanent resident who already holds that status — it does not grant status, it replaces the card that proves it.
Who commonly uses it. Someone whose 10-year Green Card has expired or is about to expire, or whose card has been lost, stolen or damaged. Also people whose name or other details have changed since the card was issued.
Official form and instructions: USCIS — I-90. Clarenor is not affiliated with USCIS.
What Clarenor provides for this service
- 14 intake questions written for this form — not a generic questionnaire. The questions are grouped into 5 sections.
- A document checklist of 7 items, each explained, with 2 marked required.
- Automatic saving. You can start now and come back later; nothing is lost.
- A consistency check. We compare your own answers and documents against each other and show you anything that does not add up.
- A human Case Guide review on the Reviewed and Full Service packages: a person reads your answers and documents and tells you what is missing.
- Escalation rules specific to this service. 4 circumstances that need a person are flagged for human review rather than decided by software.
What you will be asked
Why you need the form
- What is the reason for this application? REQUIRED
- Is your current card a 2-year conditional card? REQUIRED
Your current card
- USCIS number on your card (if you have the card)
- A-Number (if known)
- When was your card issued?
- When does (or did) your card expire?
If the card was lost, stolen or damaged
- Where and when did this happen?
- Was a police report filed?
Biographic information
- Has your legal name changed since the card was issued? REQUIRED
- If yes, what is the new legal name, and what document shows the change?
- Has your address changed in the last 3 months?
Immigration history
- Since your card was issued, have you been arrested, cited, detained or charged with any violation? REQUIRED
- Have you taken any trip outside the United States that lasted 6 months or longer since becoming a permanent resident? REQUIRED
- Have you ever been in removal, deportation or exclusion proceedings? REQUIRED
Seeing the questions before you start is deliberate. You should know what you are being asked and why before you pay for anything.
Documents you may need
- Front of your current Permanent Resident Card (not required for everyone) — Not needed if the card was lost or stolen.
- Back of your current Permanent Resident Card (not required for everyone)
- Passport-style photograph Required — USCIS has specific photo requirements; we will check it against them.
- Government-issued photo identification Required
- Proof of any legal name change (not required for everyone) — Marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order.
- Police report (lost or stolen card only) (not required for everyone)
- Copy of your prior card, if you have one (not required for everyone)
Documents are stored privately and are never publicly accessible. Only you and the Case Guide working on your case can open them, and you can replace or delete anything you upload.
How the process works
- Choose a package. You see exactly what each includes and what it does not before you pay.
- Answer the questions. Save at any point and return later.
- Upload your documents against the checklist.
- Pay. Payment is what places your case with a Case Guide. You are not charged before this step, and you pay the government fee separately to USCIS.
- A Case Guide reviews your case for completeness and consistency and tells you what is missing.
- You revise if asked, then a final readiness review completes the case.
Pricing for this service
| Package | Price | Human review | Revisions |

Why this price. A relatively contained form. Priced below the others because the intake is short and the evidence is limited.
USCIS filing fees are not included and are paid by you, directly to USCIS. Clarenor never collects a government fee on your behalf. Each package states its full refund terms on the service page.
What this service does not do
Form I-90 does not work if your card was a 2-year conditional card — that is handled by Form I-751 or I-829. If your case involves a prior removal order, an arrest, or a long absence from the United States, we will flag it and tell you that independent legal advice may be needed.
Clarenor does not file your application: you file it yourself. We do not represent you before USCIS and we do not provide legal advice.
