Overview
What this service covers
Consular and government fees are a recurring source of friction: they vary by mission and route, change without much notice, and frequently have to be paid through channels that are difficult for a foreign company or an individual applicant to use.
We set out the fees applicable to your matter before you commit, pay them on your behalf through the correct channel, and account for them separately from our own professional fees so you can see exactly what went where.
What's included
Scope of work
Fee schedule for your matter
The applicable consular, government, and authority fees for your specific route, set out before you commit.
Payment on your behalf
Fees paid through the correct channel for the mission or authority, including channels not readily accessible to foreign payers.
Separated accounting
Authority fees accounted for separately from our professional fees, with documentation for each.
Multi applicant handling
Consolidated handling and reporting where fees span a group of applicants or a mobilisation.
Change monitoring
Notification where a fee changes mid-process and what it means for your budget.
How it works
We are Aligned with your Business
Every Docurement engagement follows the same five stages, so you always know where a matter stands and who is responsible for it.
Initial consultation
We start by understanding your entity, workforce, sector, and current position — no commitment required.
Scoped proposal
A clear, transparent breakdown of what is required and how our fees are structured, separate from any government or authority fees.
Engagement & authorisation
Formal engagement with the appropriate authorisation for us to act on your behalf with the relevant authorities.
Dedicated point of contact
A single, accountable contact manages your file from instruction through to completion.
Ongoing reporting
Regular updates on completed actions, items in progress, and anything approaching a deadline.
Why Docurement
What makes the difference
No surprise line items
Fees are set out up front. Where something changes, you hear about it from us rather than discovering it on an invoice.
Channels that actually work
Some authority payment channels are effectively closed to foreign entities. We use the routes that function.
Auditable separation
Keeping authority fees distinct from professional fees matters for your own reporting and audit.
FAQs
Common questions
No, and deliberately so. Our professional fees are quoted separately from consular, government, and authority fees, which are passed through and documented. That keeps both transparent.
Yes. For corporate clients we consolidate fees across applicants and invoice the entity, with a breakdown by applicant and matter.
We tell you as soon as we are aware, explain the effect on the matter, and confirm before proceeding where the change is material.
