Need to change your name on your green card? Use Form I-90.

Form I-90 is the application to renew or replace a permanent residence card. However, it is also used for updating your information, such as changing your name after a marriage or divorce.

You will select "yes" to the question that asks, “Has your name legally changed since the issuance of your Permanent Resident Card.” Under "Reason for Application," you will check the box next to “My name or other biographic information has been legally changed since issuance of my existing card.”

Note that your name must have been legally changed before you can update your green card. You will need a copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree, or other court-issued document evidencing the name change.

Steps to applying for U.S. Citizenship:

1) Possess a green card and maintain residence in the U.S. for five years (three years if you are married to a U.S. citizen)

2) Application: Complete USCIS Form N-400 and pay the fee. As of 2017, the fee is $725. This includes the $640 citizenship application fee plus the $85 background check cost (also known as the biometric fee).

3) Fingerprinting: After your application is accepted, you will be given a date and address to a local office where you will be fingerprinted.

4) Interview and Naturalization Test: After your fingerprinting, USCIS will schedule an interview with you to meet with a USCIS officer who will go over your answers on your Form N-400. You will also be tested on your understanding of English and knowledge of civics (including U.S. history, geography, and government)

5) Attend the Oath Ceremony: Finally, you will go to a large public ceremony where you and others will swear an oath of loyalty to the United States. You will also be granted a certificate of naturalization as proof of citizenship.
