I lost my green card do i need to replace it in order to apply for my u.s passport?

You didn't have "time" to take care of the most important document in your life? I mean, seriously? You couldn't spare a couple of hours to go to the passport office before your Green Card expired? You cannot get a passport without your Green Card. You also cannot get a new Green Card if you have become a U.S. citizen. Attempting to get one would be fraud, a felony, actually. Your only course of action now is to file an N-600 with the USCIS. It costs $600 and will get you a Certificate of Citizenship based on the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. With the CoC you can apply for you your first U.S. passport. Don't you wish you had made time instead of having to pay $600 now? P.S. Muah: The passport office will want to have the Green Card as proof of resident status at the time of the parent's naturalization. It's the passport office's duty to make sure all required documents accompany the application for a passport. Without a Green Card they will tell him to get lost and hug himself. His only way to get the documentation needed is an N-600.

Green card holders are not US citizens and cannot obtain a US passport. You must have proof of US citizenship to obtain a US passport. If you are a green card holder, you must have a current valid passport from your country of citizenship, and a current valid green card. All foreigners are required by law to have their passport & visa or green card on their person at all times (parents carry these for their minor child). Get it done - failure to have your green card/passport+visa in your possession is a criminal offense - misdemeanor.

You do not contact ICE, they are Immigration Criminal Enforcer, I don't know why that person said that. Anyway, your are a US citizen, you don't need the Green Card. All you need to do to apply for US passport is your father's Certificate of Naturalization, your Birth Certificate, showing you were a minor when your father was granted the citizenship and the DS-11 Form. Go to this website: www.travel.state.gov, all info for us passport are there. Green Cards are for NON-CITIZEN only. Thank you BROTHER, my mistake.

If you have a green card then you cannot have a US passport! You need to get proof of your status as a US citizen. You will need a naturalization certificate. Contact ICE.

You can't get a passport with a greencard.
