I voted for myself before I read that you wanted the answer for my wife. Sorry.

My wife carries her DL and GC. I carry only my DL.

Although now she is carrying an EXPIRED gc (good thing cops haven't been deputized like dumbsh1t nativists want or they'd think she was illegal) while we wait for our I-751 for be adjudicated.

Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.

I voted for my husband.

He carries only his DL with him - he's still waiting for his GC to arrive in the mail, but I don't know if he'll carry it with him.

When he had the EAD he didn't leave it in his wallet because his former boss told him it's safer to leave it at home [with the SS card].

It seems weird to take the GC with you - I have friends that were granted residency as kids and they don't carry their GCs with them now as adults.

Hubby's DL is valid for years anyway.

I carry my GC & State DL

Permanent Resident Card

The Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551, is issued to all Permanent Residents as evidence of alien registration and their permanent status in the US. The card must be in your possession at all times. This requirement means that you are not only required to have a currently valid Form I-551 at all times, but also that you must carry your currently valid Form I-551 on your person at all times. The Permanent Resident Card currently is issued with a 10-year validity. You status as a Permanent Resident does not expire with the 10-year validity. Only the card expires. The card is only valid up to the expiration date and must be renewed before it expires.

A Conditional Permanent Resident is issued a card valid for two years. In order to remain a Permanent Resident, the Conditional Permanent Resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed. The condition must be removed or you lose your permanent resident status. (See Form I-751 and Form I-829.)

The Permanent Resident Card (either unconditioned or conditioned) can be used to prove employment eligibility in the US when completing the Form I-9 for a new employer. It can also be used to apply for a Social Security Card and a state issued driver’s license. The card is valid for readmission to the United States if the trip was not greater than one year in length. If a trip will last longer than one year, a reentry permit is needed.

Kez is right. And not only is not carrying your GC unlawful, but there was a well-publicized case here of a young woman (from South Korea, IIRC) who didn't have hers who was kept in jail for two weeks while they verified her immigration status.
