The cost to renew a green card in 2025 primarily involves two fees:
- Filing fee for Form I-90 (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card):
- $465 if filed by mail
- $415 if filed online (USCIS offers a discount for online filing)
- Biometrics fee (for fingerprinting, photo, and signature):
- $85 (typically required unless you are under 14 or over 79 years old, in which case you may be exempt)
Therefore, the total cost to renew a green card is generally $550 if filed by mail or $500 if filed online
. Additional costs may include legal fees if you hire an immigration attorney, which can range from $1,500 to $2,500 or more depending on the complexity of your case
. You should start the renewal process at least six months before your green card expires to avoid travel or legal issues
. The renewal process can be completed online via the USCIS website, which is more convenient and slightly cheaper due to the online filing discount
