Renew or Replace Green Card

1. Upon the expiration, damage or loss of the green card, the green card holder or  lawful permanent resident will need to renew or replace the green card because:

a) The green card serves as evidence of his/her lawful permanent residence status, eligibility for unfettered or open-market employment in the U.S.

b) Besides a valid  passport, the green card resident will also need a valid green card or green card stamp  to allow him/her to seek permission to re-enter the U.S as a lawful permanent resident or in green card status after his/herinternational travel.
