Legal Permanent Residents
Lost/Expired/Mutilated Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) Cards
The renewal of legal permanent resident cards is under the authority of United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) only. There is currently no USCIS presence in Iraq.
If you have lost your LPR card, or it has expired, the Embassy may be able to issue a transportation letter to facilitate your return to the United States, if you have been out of the country less than 12 months. However, you must meet certain criteria to qualify.
Please schedule an appointment via e-mail to: BaghdadIV@state.gov.

-
Your passport to show your exit and entry stamps to the United States.

All previously-issued passports, if available.
