A: If your birth date is incorrect on your Employment Authorization Card, you should take steps to correct it as soon as possible. This can be done by filing Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The form can be filed online or by mail, and requires you to submit your current Employment Authorization Card along with the necessary supporting documents, such as a copy of your birth certificate or passport, to prove your correct birth date. Once USCIS receives your application, it may take several months to process, and you will receive a new Employment Authorization Card with the correct birth date once the application is approved. It's important to note that failure to correct the birth date on your Employment Authorization Card could cause issues with your employment eligibility or other immigration matters.
