A designated school official (DSO) may need to reprint a student’s Form I-20 for several reasons. For example, a student might need a new official version of the form, because it was damaged or lost, or the DSO made important updates to the form.

The DSO can only reprint an official Form I-20 for a student who is in:

• Initial SEVIS status
• Active SEVIS status

DSOs can also print a draft of the Form I-20. The draft Form I-20 has the word “DRAFT” printed as a watermark across the front of the form.

The DSO can print a draft Form I-20 for a student who is in:

• Draft SEVIS status (There will not be a SEVIS ID on the form.)
• Initial SEVIS status
• Active SEVIS status
