Additional Charges

Outside agencies

Your dossier preparation does NOT include additional fees by outside agencies or governments. This includes all fees charged to obtain Vital Records (birth & marriage certificates, divorce decrees, etc.), or charges by the Secretary of State, Foreign Consulate or Embassy, custom courier fees, or any express mail charges incurred. We will always provide you with the current cost of each service. We never mark up or take commission on these fees, and we do not receive any discounts or compensation from any outside agencies, governments, consulates, or the like.
