How To Determine Your Non-Refundable Application Fee
For every Application you submit, you must pay a Non-Refundable Application Fee. Applications cannot be processed until full
payment is received. The Fee Schedule is as follows:
$5,000.00 (U.S. Dollars)
First API Spec Application
$3,500.00 (U.S. Dollars)
Second API Spec Application
$2,000.00 (U.S. Dollars)
Each additional API Spec Application
The fee schedule applies to a single quality program at the same facility.
APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED UNTIL PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.
Annual Fee
In addition to the Application Fee, Licensees will be assessed an Annual Fee for each specification for which they are authorized to
use the API Monogram. First-time applicants issued API Monogram Certificates dated November 1 through December 31 shall not be
required to pay an Annual Fee for the following year.
For those Organizations seeking joint API Monogram Licensing and quality system registration, an additional fee for registration is
required.
All annual invoices are generated the first week of January. Payments are due 45 days from the date of the invoice. If payment is not
received by the payment due date, the process for suspension / cancellation of licenses is initiated.
Certificates
Upon successful completion of the licensing process, including audit, a printed certificate will be issued to the applicant. A second
certificate is available upon request at no cost. For a third, and each subsequent certificate, there will be a charge of $50.00 per
document issued.
