USCIS Form AR-11 Alien's Change of Address Card

Form AR-11 Instructions

Make sure you complete Form AR-11 so that you can receive all USCIS correspondence in a timely manner and avoid possible delays related to your immigration case. Provide the following details in the AR-11 Form:

1. State your full name. Note that each individual applicant needs to submit a separate form - you cannot report the change of address for the entire family.
2. Indicate your current status (whether you are in the U.S. as a visitor, student, or permanent resident). You may add another status in the appropriate field.
3. Record your country of citizenship and date of birth.
4. Enter your alien registration number if you have any.
5. Write down your present and previous physical addresses. Do not send the form to report a temporary address if you still maintain your present address as your permanent residence and you still continue to receive correspondence there.
6. You may add a mailing address if it is different from your physical address.
7. Sign and date the form. This document will not be accepted without a signature.

When to File AR-11 Form?

You need to report a change of address to the USCIS within ten days of such change. Mail the form to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Citizenship and Immigration Services, Attn: Change of Address, 1344 Pleasants Drive, Harrisonburg, Virginia 22801. Do not file other documents and do not send any fees to this address. When you mail a paper form, use registered, receipt, or certified mail to have evidence that you have indeed sent the document just in case there are problems or disputes in the future.

If you have a USCIS online account, you may report the change of address using the AR-11 online form.
