More details to this question:
I got my child a US passport and she was a green card holder. She is 7 year old and I’m a US citizen. They took her green card away now I don't have the card or a copy of the card. How can I file the N600 without the card or copy? I’m so lost. Can someone please help?

But if you applied for a passport, she will get the passport in a few weeks, correct?

The possession of a valid US passport is concrete proof of US citizenship, thus your child does not need a Certificate of Citizenship to document her nationality.

File it with proof that she was granted the status, such as an I-797. Include an explanation that the card was taken by CBP. This is usually sufficient and they should not have taken the card as there was no official determination of her citizenship. You should also consider contacting the supervisor at that port of entry and tell him that you need the card per the N-600 instructions.
