Transportation Letter/ Boarding Foil

To board a flight for the United States, every U.S. Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) must present at the time of checking in, the passenger’s valid “green card” or other documentation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) demonstrating that the passenger is presently an LPR of the United States. 

If your green card has been lost or stolen or you are otherwise unable to demonstrate current LPR status, you will need a transportation letter/ boarding foil in order to board a flight to the U.S.   Please click here (PDF 252KB) for information regarding how to apply for a boarding foil.
