If your green card has been lost or stolen, you will need to apply for either a waiver of the document or a transportation letter that will permit you to apply for entry into the U.S.

Because the United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) has pre-flight inspection facilities in Ireland and a transportation letter can only be issued in the country of final departure to the U.S., the U.S. Embassy in Dublin does not issue transportation letters.

If you are traveling directly back to the U.S. from either Dublin or Shannon airports, you may apply for admission at the USCBP pre-flight inspection facilities at the airport. If you are transiting another country en route to the U.S., including the UK, you must make arrangements to apply for a transportation letter at the U.S. Embassy in that country.

If you will be in direct route to the U.S. from Dublin or Shannon, you may file a Form I-90, "Application for Replacement Card" at the airport. Please bring with you a valid passport, a police report and proof that you have not been outside the United States for more than one year, for example, an entry stamp in your passport or an airline ticket. You should also be prepared to show the immigration inspector adequate identification to substantiate your claim. The fee for filing a Form I-90 is $290.00.  Biometrics fee of $80 may be included. You can fill out your form and pay the fee when you leave the country at the USCBP pre-inspection at Dublin or Shannon airports. You will then be required to report in person to your local USCIS District Office in the United States for completion of the card replacement process.

GREEN CARD NOT IN CURRENT POSSESSION:

If you have a card, but it is NOT in your possession right now, for example, you left the card at home the last time you left the U.S., you will need to apply for either a waiver of the document or a transportation letter that will permit you to apply for entry into the U.S

Because the USCBP has pre-flight inspection facilities in Ireland and a transportation letter can only be issued in the country of final departure to the U.S., the U.S. Embassy in Dublin does not issue transportation letters. If you are traveling from Dublin or Shannon airports, directly back to the U.S., you are required to file a Form I-193, "Application for Waiver of Passport and/or Visa". The fee for this is $545.00. You can fill out your form and pay the fee when you leave the country at USCBP pre-inspection at Dublin or Shannon airports. If you are transiting another country en route to the U.S., including the UK, you must make arrangements to apply for a transportation letter at the U.S. Embassy in that country.

OTHER GREEN CARD INQUIRIES:

All other card actions, such as renewals, biographical changes, or replacement of a mutilated card, etc. will be handled by your local USCIS District Office in the United States.
