If you are already a citizen, then you don't have to apply to renew a destroyed green card.

If, however, you are not a citizen, you must renew it.

Why do you think you can be a US citizen already? What about your parents: are they naturalized US citizens? If yes, when did they naturalize (date) and how old you were at that time?
