When Should I Use Form I-777?
During the two-year period that ended July 1, 1990, USCIS
issued original Northern Mariana Identification Cards to
individuals who acquired U.S. citizenship through the
Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States
(Public Law 94-241). These cards remain valid as evidence of
U.S. citizenship. Although USCIS no longer issues these
cards, a citizen to whom a card was previously issued may use
this application to request replacement of a card that was lost,
stolen, or damaged.

an identification card. Follow the steps below to complete
