New US Rule Requires Green Card Holders to Carry Cards

The US government has announced a new rule requiring all permanent residents aged 18 and older to carry a valid Green Card at all times. This announcement was published on the official US government website, emphasizing that there are no exceptions based on circumstances or location within the country.

Permanent residents must ensure their Green Card is valid and physically accessible, rather than stored at home or kept elsewhere. An expired Green Card does not meet the requirement, as the rule specifically mandates that a valid card must be on the holder's person.

Failure to comply with this rule could lead to legal consequences, as it is a standing condition of their status under US immigration law. The government has made this rule publicly accessible to ensure that those affected are fully informed of their responsibilities.
