The list of fees showing below is up-to-date.
The fee amount that you must pay for services that are subject to an adjustment will depend on the date on which the fee is received by the Commissioner, not the date on which the service was originally requested.

- If payment is received on or after January 1 of next year, you will need to pay the adjusted prescribed fee for next year.
