Quick Answer
How do you renew DACA?
A DACA renewal is filed as a package: Form I-821D (Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization), and Form I-765WS (the worksheet explaining economic need), submitted together with the required fee. USCIS recommends filing 120 to 150 days before your current DACA and work permit expire. Clear Path Document Services prepares the forms and evidence packet; we are not attorneys and do not give legal advice or assess eligibility.
Important: Clear Path Document Services is a document preparation and filing-assistance service — not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, attorney representation, or create attorney-client relationships. All documents are prepared based on information you provide for educational and administrative purposes.Read full disclaimer.

- You have any arrest, citation, conviction, or juvenile record
- Your DACA lapsed and the gap is longer than one year
- You have ever been in removal proceedings or have a removal order
- You are considering advance parole or travel outside the United States
- You want to know whether another immigration path is available to you
