Dear Immigration help ,i have a Green card and would like to travel abroad.Can i get from INS any kind of traveling document that would replace Passport.
Thank you .Andrea.

Dear Andrea:

INS cannot issue any document that will replace your passport. However, since you are a permanent resident, INS can issue to you a document known as a re-entry permit that serves as a travel document and, in some ways, takes the place of your passport.

To apply for a re-entry permit, download immigration form I-131 and follow the instructions. Good luck.

dear helper:
