Changing your address online is often easier than printing and mailing the form, but it’s not available to everyone.

• If you have any pending or recently approved applications or petitions, you can file your AR-11 form online. Doing this will update your address on all pending applications, petitions, or requests almost immediately, and you won’t need to mail the form.

• However, you cannot use the online system if you have a pending or approved VAWA I-360, T visa, or U visa, and you have also filed an I-485, I-765v, or I-751. For pending or approved VAWA, T, or U-related cases, change of address requests can be done by calling the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283 (TTY: 800-767-1833).

Although you are not required to use registered, certified, or receipt mail, you may want to send your AR-11 with a return receipt Proof of delivery with the recipient's signature, and the date and time of delivery or another mailing method. You should keep your mailing receipt as proof that you mailed it in case there is ever a question about it or if your form does not reach the USCIS.
