Exact is independent. We are not a government body and we do not carry out any procedure on your behalf.

What this is

In the fields of the social sciences and humanities, the payment of a fee for the use of cultural heritage supports research, dissemination, and the preservation of cultural knowledge and assets. Such use may be for purposes of research, study, or the promotion of cultural value. The required fee covers administrative costs associated with authorization and ensures that the use of cultural resources complies with the legal and heritage standards established by the State.

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The law sets a fee. At the counter it is not always the one you pay. Here is what readers report, counted and summarised.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. We publish the figures together, never your account on its own.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
