You have been a permanent resident in the United States and are now taking up commuter status
Your status has been automatically converted to permanent resident status (this includes Special Agricultural Worker applicants who are converting to permanent resident status)
You have a previous version of the alien registration card (e.g., USCIS Form AR-3, Form AR-103 or Form I-151 – all are no longer valid to prove your immigration status)
Your card contains incorrect information
Your name or other biographic information on the card has been legally changed since you last received your card
You never received the previous card that was issued to you by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
