Method

How the index is made

For each country the index shows the first fee its office publishes, normally the standard fee for one apostille; the country page lists every fee. A fee of 0 means the office states that it charges nothing. Countries whose office publishes no fee are left out. Left out because the ECB publishes no reference rate for the currency: Argentina (ARS).
