U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a new online self-service Change of Address Tool that allows applicants with pending applications and petitions to update their address with USCIS more easily. According to a recent USCIS announcement, the Enterprise Change of Address (E-COA) tool “will significantly improve the speed and efficiency of the process for USCIS customers to update their address with USCIS.”

Using E-COA, most individuals who have a USCIS online account can conveniently update their mailing and physical addresses for pending applications, petitions, or requests in one central location. This eliminates the need to make USCIS address updates in multiple locations: completing a paper AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card, or reaching out to the Contact Center.

  • If you have a pending application with USCIS, please update your address using the new E-COA system in your USCIS online account as soon as possible. This will ensure that important documents (e.g., receipt notices, EAD cards) will be mailed to your new address.
  • Even if you do not have a pending application, all noncitizens should report a change of address to USCIS within 10 days of moving.USCIS account page
