The USCIS began issuing new green cards on May 11, 2010. The new green card is designed to combat fraud and counterfeiting. Below are some of the new features embedded in this card.
Redesign results from extensive collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Screening Coordination Office, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Forensic Document Laboratory, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Special ink creates color shifts in visual designs (e.g., eagle’s head).
Fine-lined artwork and complex architecture incorporate patterns that are nearly impossible to reproduce.
Card materials resist tampering. Attempted tampering becomes immediately visible to the naked eye.
Standard card design and personalized features are integrated to deter fraud attempts, e.g., alteration of the photograph.
Greater detail in photograph makes for easier identification of the bearer.
Ultra-violet technology and tactile clues allow accurate card authentication at border crossings.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) allows inspectors to read unique, 192-bit serial number (192-bits) from a distance and link the information to the personal data on file.
Personalized return address on back of card doubles as security feature and as customer-service enhancement to facilitate easy return of lost cards to USCIS.
In keeping with its nickname, redesigned Permanent Resident Card is now green.
