Notifying USCIS of a Change in Address

If you’re a non-U.S. citizen living in the United States and you change your address, you must report it to USCIS within 10 days of moving. How do you do that? Easy! Check out USCIS’ official page for more details.

Option 1: File online through your USCIS online account

USCIS encourages you to update your address through the online portal, which is (at least in theory) an easier way to get the job done than.

As USCIS states on its website:

Changing your address online allows us to process your change of address almost immediately and eliminates the need to file a paper Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card, by mail.

Most people can change their address online using the USCIS self-service change-of-address tool in their USCIS Online Account under the My Account dropdown menu. If you do not have a USCIS online account, see our How to Create a USCIS Online Account page.  Some people may not have access to this feature, see the Specific Procedures for Certain Populations section for more information.

Option 2: File a paper Form AR-11 by mail

If you don’t want to avail yourself of USCIS’s digital option, just send an AR-11 in the post.

The address to send it to is:

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Citizenship and Immigration Services Attn: Change of Address 1344 Pleasants Drive Harrisonburg, VA 22801
