Updating Your I-20

Your Form I-20 is a certificate of eligibility to study in the United States. DO NOT let your I-20 program end date expire until you have completed your studies at BYU.

Request an updated I-20 through our eForms Portal when you have changes to your circumstances, including but not limited to the following:

  • Needing to extend your program end date
  • Replacing a lost or damaged I-20
  • Changing of sponsor/finances
  • Adding or deleting dependent I-20s for spouse and/or children
  • Changing your name
  • Updating employment information
  • Obtaining a travel signature
  • Requesting a reinstatement of F-1 status I-20

We strongly urge you to keep all of your original I-20s even after a new one has been issued to reflect updated information or transfer of schools. This is recommended for future government applications and/or other work applications where proof of enrollment is needed.
