New EAD and New Certificate of Citizenship Designed

Today, Director Alejandro Mayorkas, USCIS Director, announced the agency’s launch of an enhanced Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and a re-designed certificate of citizenship (Form N-560). These changes have been made to strengthen the nation’s security as well as prevent fraud. USCIS issued its first set of EADs today and will commence the use of the re-designed certificates on October 30t

According to Director Mayorkas, the new features of the EAD will “better equip workers, employers and law enforcement officials to recognize the card as definitive proof of authorization to work in the United States.”

The Service noted that previously issued EADs will remain valid until the expiration dates noted on them. However, Certificates of Citizenship that have already been issued remain valid indefinitely.

USCIS plans to continually enhance its document security features as technology improves over time. Today marks one step forward in that direction.
