Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Same-day
			 service is available at the division's front counter for a service fee of $150
			 for single or multiple transactions on paper within each new or existing
			 division program filing. In addition, the filing fee for each transaction
			 applies. Same-day services may be limited due to business hours and quantity of
			 filings submitted.
(2) There is no
			 same-day service fee for records dropped off in-person for processing with
			 nonexpedited records received that day.
(3) Expedited service requests for filing
			 records will be completed within three working days of submission for an
			 expedited service fee of $100. If a request is made for same-day service on an
			 expedited record, an additional same-day service fee of $50 may be
			 assessed.
(4) Nonexpedited service
			 requests for filing paper records received by mail are processed within 15
			 business days. If a request is made for expedited or same-day service, the
			 applicable fee may be assessed.
(5)
			 If a record submitted online is subsequently requested to be filed immediately,
			 the $150 same-day service fee may be required.
(6) The filing party may request expedited
			 service on mailed records by placing the word "expedite" in bold letters on
			 either the envelope, the face of the record to be filed, or on any cover letter
			 submitted with the record.
(7)
			 Emergency services outside regular business hours requiring employee overtime
			 are $200 per hour (minimum fee of $200/one hour's rate) plus transaction fees
			 due on any filing. When the division receives a request for emergency services,
			 staff will notify the customer of the service fee and any other reasonable
			 conditions set by the director. The customer must agree to pay the fees or have
			 received a fee waiver before emergency services are provided.
(8) A customer may submit a written request
			 to waive emergency, expedited, or penalty fees, which must include the special
			 circumstances justifying the fee waiver. The director or deputy director will
			 make the determination to waive fees or not.
(9) Same-day, online, or expedited service
			 fees are not refundable.
