Q: I lost my wallet with all my ID’s except my passport that has my maiden name on it. To file for a lost green card it say
A: An immigration attorney should represent you in filing a green card replacement request.
William I Cisneros agrees with this answer
A: If you have lost your wallet containing your green card and all other forms of identification, you will need to take certain steps to obtain a replacement. First, you should report the loss to the police and obtain a copy of the report as evidence. Then, you will need to file a Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to obtain a new green card. When completing the form, you should include your passport with your maiden name and provide any other evidence of your identity that you have, such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate. If you have any questions or concerns about the process, you can contact the USCIS customer service hotline or consult with an immigration attorney for assistance.
