Green Card
A green card is the name given to a wallet-sized card showing that the person is a lawful permanent resident (immigrant) in the U.S. Sometimes a green card is referred to as a permanent resident card (PRC). It is called a green card because at one time the card was actually green in color. It is no longer green.
