Asking for a friend she already applied for N400 on August 2019  done with fingerprint. At the end of September she lost her Green Card. Now she has only a photocopy of her Green Card and original is lost. Does she need to renew it and get a new one or it’s ok and she can go for her naturalization exam and ceremony without her original Green Card? Thanks in advance for answers.

IF she lost it, she will have to apply for a new one.  As far as the ceremony goes, I'm not sure.

My notice at n400 interview said something about green card or copy of police report if it’s lost. Not home right now to check.

Since she lost it before the interview, you must file I-90, pay the fees for a replacement. 

If she had lost it after the interview and before oath, then you could plead your case a little differently. 

 

Thank you for response. She actually asked at finger print office about it and they said it’s fine, not sure why they didn’t give her any info

I heard about police report as well but wouldn’t put it in risk, I think it’s better for her to renew it just in case. Thank you

Update on my friends lost Green Card, she went to the USCIS office and they put a stamp on her passport, so she doesn’t have to reapply for new Green Card and stamp in her passport works as a  Green Card till her  naturalization in next year.
