What is the I-90 green card replacement fee?

What the sources call the form

Searchers usually call this the green card renewal, but the form title in both sources is replacement. The regulation, 8 CFR 106.2(a)(1), describes filing an application for a Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551, to replace an obsolete card or to replace one lost, mutilated or destroyed, or for a change in name. The fee for any of those is $465. This page uses the sources' wording and reads the fee for the form exactly as it is printed, without deciding which life events fit which reason.

The price and the online price

The general row in Form G-1055, edition 10/26/26, prints $465 for a paper filing and $415 for an online filing. The two figures agree with the regulation once the $50 online discount in 8 CFR 106.1(g) is applied. The I-90 is one of the forms the schedule shows as eligible for online filing, and the online route is where the lower price sits.

The three no-fee cases

The regulation lists three cases that pay nothing. The first is an applicant who was issued a card but never received it. The schedule describes a version of this as a card USCIS issued that was returned to USCIS as undeliverable. The second is an applicant whose card was issued with incorrect information because of a DHS error. The third is an applicant who has reached their 14th birthday and whose existing card will expire after their 16th birthday. The fee for a young applicant is therefore decided by one comparison: where the card's expiration date falls relative to the 16th birthday.

The schedule also prints the opposite case. A person who has reached their 14th birthday and whose existing card will expire before their 16th birthday pays the full $465, or $415 online. The two rows together show the rule is a line, not a range, so read the card and the birth date carefully.

Fee waiver

The I-90 is the first form in the unconditional waiver list in 8 CFR 106.3(a)(3)(i). An applicant who cannot pay can show a means-tested benefit, household income at or below 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, or extreme financial hardship. The request must be in writing with the reasons and evidence, and a denial cannot be appealed. The schedule closes the I-90 table with a line that certain applicants may be eligible for a fee waiver and points to the I-912 instructions.

Other fees printed beside it

The I-90 rows I read print no additional line under Public Law 119-21. That differs from forms such as the I-765 and I-131. The edition and the read date matter here too, because the schedule says that fees under that law adjust each year.

Reading the 14th birthday rule with dates

The young filer rule is easiest to see with dates. Take a child who turns 14 on a given day. If the card on hand expires before the child's 16th birthday, the fee is $465, or $415 online. If it expires after the 16th birthday, the fee is $0. A card that expires one month before the 16th birthday and one that expires one month after are therefore priced differently, and nothing else about the two cases matters to the fee. These are illustrations of the rule as printed, not statements about any real card.

Worked example

A permanent resident whose card was lost files online: $415 in the schedule, $465 base in the regulation. A 15-year-old whose card expires in a year and a half is under the 16th birthday line and pays the full fee; a 15-year-old whose card expires after the 16th birthday pays nothing. A resident whose replacement card was printed with the wrong birth date because of a DHS error pays $0. The checker above shows each of these rows as the source prints them, and the sources, not this summary, control.

Editions read: eCFR title 8 as of the October 14, 2026 issue date, and Form G-1055 edition 10/26/26. Both were read on November 2, 2026. Fees in this area changed repeatedly in 2024, 2025 and 2026; where the two sources differ, this page says so and does not choose between them. If you need to rely on an amount, confirm it with the official USCIS fee calculator on the day you file, and talk to an immigration attorney or accredited representative about your own case.
