Lost Green Cards

Lost Green Card and Transportation Letters

Permanent resident alien registration cards (commonly known as Form I-551 "green cards") can be issued or replaced only by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) in the United States. The U.S. Consulate General is unable to issue a replacement green card. If you left your alien registration card in the United States, you should ask friends or relatives there to send you the card by express mail. 

If you have lost your green card, the U.S. Consulate General may be able to issue you a LPR permission to return to the US that will permit you to return to the United States. We must also obtain confirmation of your resident alien status. Knowing your alien registration number will expedite the process. There is no processing fee for the LPR Permission to Return to the US.  At your interview, you should submit the loss statement, "declaration de perte", from the police station in the city where the loss or theft occurred. In order to apply for such a letter, you must appear at the U.S. Consulate General and submit an I-90 form. 

To apply for a LPR permission to return to the US you must send an email to CasablancaExpedite@state.gov to ask for an appointment.  Be sure to bring your Alien Registration ("A") Number and passport with you, the police record of loss of the green card (with an English translation of the record if it is not in English), as well as proof of your presence in the United States within the last 12 months.  Upon verification of legal permanent resident status, the traveler will be given LPR permission to return to the US.
