Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card (Green Card). When do I have to renew my Permanent Resident Card? You must renew your Permanent Resident Card if your 10-year card has expired or will expire within the next 6 months. If your Permanent Resident Card is only valid for 2 years, you are a conditional resident. In this case, you must submit a request to have the conditions on your residence in the country removed before your card expires or expires. You can submit this request 90 days before your card expires. If your application is approved, you will be sent a new Permanent Resident Card valid for 10 years. You do not need to submit a Form I-90.
