When Should I Use Form I-102?
You may file a Form I-102 if you:

1. Were admitted at a port-of-entry (POE) in the United States (whether at a land border, an airport, or a seaport) and:
A. You were not issued an initial Form I-94, Form I-94W, or Form I-95; or

B. You need to replace your lost, stolen, or mutilated Form I-94, Form I-94W, or Form I-95.

NOTE: If you were admitted to the United States by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at an airport or
seaport after April 30, 2013, CBP may have issued you an electronic Form I-94 instead of a paper Form I-94.
You may visit the CBP website at www.cbp.gov/I94 to obtain a paper version of an electronic Form I-94. CBP
does not charge a fee for this service. Some travelers admitted to the United States at a land border, airport, or
seaport, after April 30, 2013 with a passport or travel document, who were issued a paper Form I-94 by CBP, may
also be able to obtain a replacement Form I-94 from the CBP website without charge. If you cannot obtain your
Form I-94 from the CBP website, you may obtain it by filing Form I-102, Application for Replacement/Initial
Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Record, with USCIS. USCIS does charge a fee for this service. See the USCIS
website at www.uscis.gov/I-102 for more information.
2. Would like to replace a lost, stolen, or mutilated Form I-94W or receive an initial Form I-94W, but only if you were
admitted at a POE at a land border, or you were admitted at a POE at an airport or seaport on or before June 28, 2010;
3. Were granted an extension of nonimmigrant stay or change of nonimmigrant status after you were initially admitted to
the United States, and you need a replacement of your lost, stolen, or mutilated Form I-94;
4. Were not issued Form I-94 when you entered as a nonimmigrant member of the military; or
5. Were issued Form I-94, Form I-94W, or Form I-95 with incorrect information.
NOTE: If CBP issued your Form I-94, Form I-94W, or Form I-95 with incorrect information (for example,
misspelled name, incorrect date of birth, visa classification, or date of admission), you should not file Form I-102.
You will need to go to the nearest CBP POE or the nearest CBP deferred inspection office, in person, to have the
information corrected. For locations and hours of operation, visit the CBP’s website at www.cbp.gov.

information you provided or failed to provide to USCIS or the U.S. Department of State, you must pay the fee.
2. You do not need to pay the fee if you are a nonimmigrant military member in the U.S. Armed Forces, or if you are

2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

3. If you live outside the United States, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate for instructions on the
method of payment.
Notice to Those Making Payment by Check. If you send USCIS a check, we will convert it into an electronic funds
transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your
account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually take 24 hours and your bank will show it
on your regular account statement.
You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but we will keep a copy of it. If
USCIS cannot process the EFT for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check.
If your check is returned as unpayable, USCIS will re-submit the payment to the financial institution one time. If the
check is returned as unpayable a second time, we will reject your application and charge you a returned check fee.
