About Green Cards: A United States Green Card serves as proof of a person’s lawful permanent resident status in the United States. An individual with a Green Card has the right to live and work permanently in the United States.

Green Card Renewal: Green Card holders (United States permanent residents) with expired Green Cards may be considered “out of status” and may be denied entry into the United States if their green card is out of date. Therefore, it is vital to keep your proof of permanent resident status current and valid. If your Green Card was issued over 10 years ago, you should check the expiration date printed on the front of the card. If your Green Card is expired, of it it is about to expire, you should renew your Green Card immediately.
