Document renewal fee comparison
Renewal costs vary by document type, state, and urgency. The bigger risk is often not the base fee but late penalties, expedited processing, reinstatement costs, tickets, coverage gaps, or lost work authorization.
| Passport book | $130 plus expedited fees if needed. Urgent travel appointments and third-party services can raise the real cost sharply. |
|---|---|
| Driver license | $25–$90 depending on state, with possible retesting or reinstatement fees if the license has been expired too long. |
| Vehicle registration | $20–$200+ depending on state and county, plus emissions, inspection, late penalties, or ticket costs. |
| Green card | $465 filing plus biometrics where applicable. Processing can take months, so timing matters as much as cost. |
