United States Permanent Resident Card (Green Card) Renewal/Replacement (Form I-90)

Renew or replace a lawful permanent resident's Permanent Resident Card ("Green Card") using Form I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card): expired or expiring, lost/stolen/destroyed, never received, mutilated, incorrect due to USCIS error, or after a legal name/biographic change. Distinct from us/uscis/naturalization-n400, which addresses citizenship eligibility, not card renewal for an existing permanent resident. It does not submit the application; the live U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) source is always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md).
