Exiting United States with an expired passport

Upvote:4

There is no exit check on US borders, so the US can't stop you from exiting the country. You also don't need a passport for entry, just your Green Card.

However -

  • Your airline would very likely not check you in and refuse you to board;
  • Your destination country (even if it's your country of citizenship) would very likely deny you entry.

So, although you CAN exit and enter the US, there is nowhere much you could go.

A passport is not required for green card holders to enter/exit the US, only a valid green card.

In fact, the US has no border control on exit.

So, if the other country accepts the expired passport, this trip is 100% fine.
