If a Legal Permanent Resident experiences the loss or theft of his/her LPR card while traveling in Cameroon, the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Yaounde may request permission from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to assist the individual in returning to the U.S. by providing a Transportation Letter.  Transportation Letters are not guaranteed.  Please note: If the individual has been absent from the U.S. for over a year, s/he is not eligible for this service.

Those meeting DHS qualifications and desiring assistance should come to the Consular Section during regular ACS hours with the following materials:
