What this is

Registration Fees for the Register of Accredited Film Distributors and Exhibitors constitute non-tax public revenue collected by the Government for the official registration of accredited film distributors and exhibitors in the national register maintained by the competent authority. Registration is mandatory for any individual or legal entity wishing to lawfully engage in the distribution, exhibition, or operation of cinematographic works within the national territory. The fees cover the administrative procedures related to the examination of applications, verification of eligibility requirements, registration of operators, and maintenance of the official register. The revenue supports government regulatory, supervisory, monitoring, and professional development activities within the film industry while ensuring that operators comply with the applicable legal and regulatory framework.

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.
