Change of Address Form (EOIR-33/BIA)

Instructions: This form is to be used by the parties in proceedings before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). To complete this form, fill out all blanks below, including proof of service, which certifies that you will provide a copy of this form to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). After filling in the blanks and signing both the declaration and proof of service, you must submit the form to the BIA Clerk's Office electronically, in person, or by mail. Attorneys and fully accredited representatives submitting this form electronically must file in Case Portal at https://portal.eoir.justice.gov. You must submit a separate copy of this form for each individual with an appeal pending before the BIA and whom the change of information affects.

You must file this form with the BIA within five working days of the change to your contact information. The BIA will send all official correspondence (e.g., notices, decisions) to the address you provide. The BIA will only make any change(s) to your contact information in EOIR’s records upon receipt of this form; the BIA will not change your contact information based on different information on pleadings, motions, or other communications with the BIA. Note: Attorneys and fully accredited representatives who are representing a respondent before the BIA should not use this form to indicate their own change of address; such changes should instead be reflected on a Form EOIR-27 (Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Representative Before the Board).
