  • E-COA enables individuals with USCIS online accounts to update both mailing and physical addresses for pending applications, petitions, or requests in one convenient location.
  • Individuals without pending applications, petitions, or requests can also utilize E-COA to fulfill the requirement of notifying USCIS about their address changes.

USCIS has rolled out E-COA, which eliminates the requirement for individuals to complete a paper AR-11(Alien's Change of Address Card), call the USCIS Contact Center, or visit a USCIS field or asylum office. Most individuals with USCIS online accounts can update their mailing and physical addresses with USCIS and automate the address changes for almost all pending applications, petitions, or requests.
