Have you ever needed to show your GK.

[Twomoles 8]

Just wondering if any of you have ever been asked to show your GK?

Last time was probably many years ago, when I applied for account at my local credit union bank.

I am self - employed, so my employer does not need it. I renewed my drivers license, they never asked for it.

I really can not think of the last time I had to show my GK, aside from airport?

Even at a car accident several years ago, a guy bumped me from behind, police officer never cared to see it.

Maybe my life really is very uneventful, lol.

I mean I have been here 13 years, so everything is already established, but still. I am trying to think of scenarios where I would actually need to show my GK.

If you went out of the country, you'd want to show your green card to regain admittance.

The rule is you have to have it on you at all times, and maybe that's just in case, but that thing is VERY expensive to replace, so I'd keep it with me, like the rule says to do.

They always ask for proof of status with drivers license renewal

Needed it for lease/mortgage

~~moved to general immigration discussion from US citizenship discussion. Topic is about green card not citizenship~~

 

I use it with employment because that's one item vs 2 and I'm lazy.  Took me a minute to realize GK was Green Card too.  LOL

If you mean GC yes I showed it in the very beginning at a doctors appointment when they asked to see an ID. I had nothing else on me but my green card and they accepted it as my ID. Then of course when I got hired I showed it. After that it was in my wallet and didn't come out again until the interview for my citizenship.

Wife never carried it and it was secured in our safe until it was needed for travel or biometric appointments.  The ridiculous cost of replacing it sort of makes one treat it like a bar of gold. (It’s the law to carry though so I will not advocate what we did to others)

 

Anyways now she is a citizen so all is good.
