Lawful permanent residents in the United States need the Green Card as an important document. If you are working, learning or living with your family in the U.S., your green card needs to stay valid. After your card expires, the first important step is to renew it. All the information about renewing your green card in 2025, eligibility, the list of necessary papers, fees and where to find expert advice at HelpingGreenCard.com<\/a> is here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Should You Renew Your Green Card?<\/strong> Permanent residents have six months from the expiration date to ask for renewal of their green card. You must also get a new green card in the following circumstances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The card is lost, stolen, or damaged<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your personal information (e.g., name) has changed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You received your card before turning 14 and are now over 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Should Not Use Form I-90?<\/strong> Conditional residents with a 2-year green card cannot use Form I-90; they must use Form I-751 for their family-based case or Form I-829 for an investment-based case instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Guide to Renewing Your Green Card<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Complete Form I-90<\/strong>
Go to the official USCIS website or submit your application by postal mail. Keep all details up-to-date and correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Submit Required Documents<\/strong>
You may be required to hand over a copy of your expired or about-to-expire green card, ID documents or documents showing you changed your name legally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Pay the Filing Fees<\/strong>
As of 2025, the fees include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$455 filing fee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$85 biometric services fee
Total: $540<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Attend the Biometrics Appointment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The USCIS will let you know the time, date and place for your interview. Fingerprinting, taking photos and running background checks are elements of biometrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Wait for Processing<\/strong>
After submitting your application, you will receive a receipt notice. Processing can take 8\u201312 months depending on your case and USCIS workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can You Travel While Waiting for Your Green Card Renewal?<\/strong> Yes. Receiving a transitional green card means that DHS has issued a one-year extension, as indicated by Form I-797C. You are allowed to use this notification with your expired passport while you are abroad or working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Mistakes to Avoid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applying too late<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing incorrect or incomplete information<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing biometrics appointment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not keeping copies of your application<\/p>\n\n\n\n
