Green Card Renewal Form I-90 Filing Fee

To renew a Green Card, applicants must file Form I-90 and include the necessary filing fee. While the filing fee  can vary depending on the particular circumstances of the filing, the filing fee is typically $465 for paper filings and $415 for online filings. For more information on filing fee exceptions, see the USCIS Fee Calculator.

How to Pay the Form I-90 filing fee

In the United States, you may pay the filing fee to USCIS using a check or money order drawn from a U.S. financial institution and payable in U.S. funds. You can also pay online or with Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions..  For more information on paying USCIS filing fees, check out this article. 

How to Waive the Fees

If you are unable to pay the fees, you may request to waive them by filing  Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver. When filing Form I-912, you must provide documentation showing that you qualify based on one of the following criteria:

• You, your spouse, or the head of household living with you, are currently receiving a means-tested benefit (Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, SSI).
• Your household income is at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
• You are currently experiencing financial hardship that prevents you from paying the filing fee, including unexpected medical bills or emergencies.

Note: If you are waiving the fee, you are not eligible to submit Form I-90 online. You must mail in a paper document.
