I did not take my gc out of my wallet except to show to INS, DHS, and after the post 9/11 security theater emerged, the DMV. Relatively rare compared to showing a DL or credit card.

Granted the DL is removed too many times from the wallet, such as for TSA theater, or showing at the exit of a rental 

 

If you live south of I-10, or travel to any of the territories enough, eventually 100%.

 

I'd say at least once a week, I see post here or other places where an LPR forgot their gc before leaving the U.S. Seems more likely that will happen than getting mugged. Neither has ever happened to me.

 

I know someone who left his wallet with his gc, SS card (???), and DL locked in his car to go on a hike, and came back to find his car broken into to. That cannot happen to me, because I do not lock my wallet in my car.

 

These days my passport card has replaced my gc in my wallet.

Mike, I agree that we have to follow the laws, but Im asking you this because I know you are probably one of the most expert and with more knowledge in VJ.

example Situation: Im traveling around Texas near the south border and Im traveling with my friend that is a US citizen. Any police stop us and ask to see the GC...my friend is a US citizen so he doesn't have a green card, how the police knows if Im a US citizen or not if Im only showing my DL.....looks a lit bit discriminatory right???

But I will make sure I carry my green card when Im traveling to areas like San Diego next month, but here in Florida I think its almost impossible to be asked to show a GC....just my opinion.......

Florida has a new  state law for dealing wirg illegal immigrants.  If TX asks for your GC so will FL.

DHS is moving facial recognition and it will not surprise me if there is an announcement that LPRs can stop carrying their green cards.

If you have Global Entry, this is already the case. Surprised me that I didn't even need to scan my passport or GC card at the kiosk.

 

That being said, like Mike I always carry my GC but never shows it to anyone except immigration and TSA. I also don't frequent places where there's a lot of pickpockets though...

 

Now, back before GC days, compliance is harder as in theory I have to bring this long form work permit with me everywhere...

FYI to all who are interested,

I've been playing with Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, CLEAR and ID.me.

While none can store the Permanent Resident Card at this time, the technology is certainly there if USCIS chooses to adopt it, or choose to create their own app that links to the my.USCIS.gov login.

 

It would certainly be convenient if there is some app that can store the Permanent Resident Card or EAD/AP or Green Card extension letter, Passport, Marriage Certificate, REAL ID driver license, etc. all in one place, which will be convenient for the foreign resident. Then again, USCIS is not about convenience.
