What this is

Publishing House Accreditation is a non-tax revenue collected for the issuance of an administrative approval authorizing an individual or legal entity to legally engage in publishing, editing, and distributing books and other publications. It is required for operators intending to establish and operate a publishing house in accordance with the applicable regulations. This accreditation enables the competent authority to ensure that publishing houses comply with the professional, legal, and technical standards governing the publishing industry, while supporting the development of the book industry and the promotion of the nation's literary and cultural heritage. Payment of this fee constitutes an administrative requirement prior to carrying out publishing activities and contributes to financing the State’s regulatory, supervisory, and promotional functions in the publishing sector. This revenue falls within the cultural sector and is collected for the benefit of the State budget through the Ministry of Arts and Culture (MINAC).

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The instrument sets a fee. At the counter it is not always that one. Here is what readers report, counted and summed up.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. It is published as counted figures, never as your account of it.

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.
