Your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is more than just a card — it’s your legal ability to work in the United States. Losing it can create a chain of frustrating and expensive problems.

Replacing a lost EAD often takes significantly longer than receiving your initial card. For asylum applicants, the delay can be even worse. On top of that, USCIS generally charges filing fees for renewing or replacing the card, and attorneys charge for preparing the application. A simple mistake can turn into months of waiting and extra costs.

Keep your EAD somewhere secure — in your wallet or a sealed pocket you won’t accidentally open. Treat it like any other critical identity document.

A lost work permit can interrupt your ability to work legally, delay future filings, and add unnecessary stress. Don’t risk it.

Losing your work permit causes costly delays — keep it safe and secure.
