USCIS Introduces Redesigned Green Card With Improved Security Features
The Biden administration announced on Jan. 30 that it started issuing redesigned Permanent Resident Cards—which are commonly called green cards—and Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) that include several enhanced graphics and improved security features.
In a press release, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) noted that although the agency began issuing the redesigned cards on Monday, the introduction of the new design will not make older cards invalid.
“Existing cards remain valid until their expiration date, and lawful permanent residents and EAD recipients do not need to take any action,” it stated.
