What is the official name of the Green Card?

The official name of the Green Card is the Permanent Resident Card. This designation reflects the rights and status it grants to non-citizens, allowing them to live and work indefinitely in the United States, provided they continue to meet certain conditions, such as maintaining residency and not committing deportable offenses. The term "Green Card" arose from the color of the card historically used for this purpose, but its official title emphasizes the permanent nature of the residency it provides.

The choice of Temporary Resident Card does not apply here, as that designation pertains to individuals who have a limited stay in the U.S., typically under specific visa programs that do not confer the long-term residency benefits associated with a Permanent Resident Card.

Similarly, the Citizenship Card is incorrect because this card is associated with individuals who have formally become citizens of the United States, a status that is not conferred by the Green Card.

Lastly, the Visa Card is unrelated, as it usually refers to credit cards issued by financial institutions or immigration documents that grant temporary entry into the country, not an indication of permanent residency.
