This process may takes from several days to two weeks. Therefore, it is important that you apply for the boarding foil as soon as possible or at least one month before your planned departure to the United States.

Replace Permanent Resident Card

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website provides information and directions necessary to apply for Permanent Resident Cards, aka Alien Registration Receipt Cards (ARC), aka 'green cards', including renewal or replacement of such cards. A 'green card' is proof of one's Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status and is required for readmission to the United States.

You should not leave the United States again until you have applied for and received your new card. You can apply for your replacement card electronically now, through the USCIS website.
