How to Find Your USCIS Online Account Number

If you are filling out USCIS forms or filling out a questionnaire on SimpleCitizen, you may be asked to provide your USCIS Online Account Number. Because the USCIS portal doesn't display this number prominently on your main profile, locating it can be tricky.

Follow the simple steps below to locate your number or find out what to do if you can't access it.

Check the "Documents" Tab in Your USCIS Portal

Most users can find their account number embedded inside standard notices saved in their portal.

  1. Log into your USCIS Online Account.
  2. On your account dashboard, scroll down to the "Your Cases" section.
  3. Select an application.
  4. Click on that application's "Documents" tab.
  5. Review the PDF notices listed there. Look closely at the top right or upper sections of any listed notices to see if your USCIS Online Account Number is printed on them.
Look carefully for a document titled "Account Acceptance Notice"
When USCIS links an online account to an active application, they issue an Account Acceptance Notice. Your 12-digit USCIS Online Account Number is almost always displayed near the top of this specific document.

What If You Still Can’t Find Your Account Number?

Don't worry if you've searched your portal and still cannot locate the number.

If you are unable to find your USCIS Online Account Number, you can answer "NO" when asked if you have an online account (or leave the field blank if completing forms on paper). It is not a requirement to have a USCIS Online Account Number to complete an application.
