Frequently Asked Questions
What is Form AR-11?
Form AR-11, Alien's Change of Address Card, is used to notify USCIS when a non-citizen changes their physical address. It is required by federal law (INA Section 265) for all non-citizens living in the United States.
Who must file Form AR-11?
All non-citizens (including green card holders, visa holders, and anyone with pending immigration cases) must file AR-11 within 10 days of changing their address.
Is there a filing fee for AR-11?
No. Form AR-11 is completely free to file, whether you submit it online or by mail. There is no USCIS filing fee. Our service is also free.
What are the penalties for not filing AR-11?
Failure to report an address change within 10 days is a misdemeanor under Section 266(b) of the INA. Penalties can include a fine of up to $200, imprisonment for up to 30 days, and removal proceedings.
Can I file AR-11 online?
Yes. You can file directly on the USCIS website at uscis.gov/ar-11. Our filing guide explains both the online and mail options.
Does filing AR-11 update my address on pending cases?
No. Filing AR-11 updates your address in the USCIS master database, but it does NOT automatically update your address on any pending applications, petitions, or immigration court cases. You need to update those separately.
Do family members need separate AR-11 forms?
Yes. Each non-citizen family member who moved must file their own separate AR-11 form, even if the entire family moved to the same address.
What if I do not have an A-Number?
The online filing system does not always require an A-Number. If you do not have one, you can still file by mail.
Do U.S. citizens need to file AR-11?
No. AR-11 is only required for non-citizens. U.S. citizens do not need to report address changes to USCIS.
Why is this service free?
We believe everyone should be able to comply with federal law easily and for free. AR-11 is a simple one-page form, and helping people file it correctly is the right thing to do. We also offer paid services for more complex forms.
