영주권 (Green Card)과 워크퍼밋 (EAD) 카드 새 디자인으로 발급

발표일시: 2023.1.30

 

이민국 (USCIS)은 1월 30일부터 보안을 강화하기 위해 새롭게 디자인한 영주권 카드 (Permanent Resident Card; Green Card)와  워크퍼밋 카드 (EAD; Employment Authorization Documents)를 발급해준다.

 

새롭게 디자인된 영주권 카드와 워크퍼밋 카드는 국가안보를 강화하고 고객서비스를 증진하기 위한 최첨단 기술을 도입해 제작됐다고 이민국은 밝혔다. 새 카드는 보다 정밀한 삽화기술로 보다 개선된 질감을 가지도록 디자인 됐으며, 최고의 안전을 위한 홀로그래픽 이미지가 도입됐다.

 

새 영주권 카드와 워크퍼밋 카드 디자인은 문서 위변조, 사기 등 국가안보를 위협하는 행위에 대해 사전 예방을 위한 이민국의 노력을 보여주고 있다고 이민국은 밝혔다.

 

구 디자인의 영주권 카드와 워크퍼밋 카드는 만료 날짜까지 유효하게 사용이 가능하며, 재발급을 신청할 경우 1월 30일부터는 새로운 디자인의 카드가 발급된다.

USCIS Redesigns Green Card and Employment Authorization Document

 

Release Date 

01/30/2023

 

New Features Provide State-of-the-Art Security

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today new designs to improve security of Permanent Resident Cards (also known as Green Cards) and Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). USCIS will begin issuing the redesigned cards on Jan. 30, 2023.

 

The new Green Card and EAD designs contain state-of-the-art technology that continue to safeguard national security and improve service for our customers. Changes include improved detailed artwork; tactile printing that is better integrated with the artwork; enhanced optically variable ink; highly secure holographic images on the front and back of the cards; a layer-reveal feature with a partial window on the back photo box; and data fields displayed in different places than on previous versions.

 

“This redesign further demonstrates USCIS’ commitment to taking a proactive approach against the threat of secure document tampering, counterfeiting, and fraud,” said USCIS Director Ur M. Jaddou. “Consistent updates to secure documents, informed by our knowledge of the latest methods of bad actors and the innovation and ingenuity of our staff, ensure the continued integrity of secure documents issued by our agency.”

 

The introduction of the new designs does not mean that currently issued cards are invalid. Current cards remain valid until their expiration date (unless otherwise noted, such as through an automatic extension of a Green Card or EAD as indicated on a Form I-797, Notice of Action, or in a Federal Register notice).

 

Some Green Cards and EADs issued after Jan. 30, 2023, may still display the existing design format because USCIS will continue using existing cardstock until current supplies are depleted. Both versions of the cards are acceptable for Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification; E-Verify; and Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE). Some older Green Cards do not have an expiration date. These older Green Cards without an expiration date generally remain valid; however, USCIS encourages applicants with these older cards to consider applying for a replacement card to prevent fraud or tampering should the card ever get lost or stolen.

 

USCIS launched the current cards in May 2017. To mitigate the risk of fraud and counterfeiting, the Document Management Division in the USCIS Office of Intake and Document Production redesigns the cards every three to five years. Redesigning the cards is part of the Secure Identification Platform (SIP) Project. The SIP Project began in 2019 with extensive market research. The USCIS Document Management Division met with key industry leaders and stakeholders to learn industry best practices.
