Government fees are charged at official rates with no markup.
Domestic EMS at Thailand Post rates; international DHL/FedEx at actual weight-based rates.

Why Apec Card filings get rejected

Skipping MFA legalization before the embassy step — this costs multiple trips and several weeks.
Originals outside the validity window — many destinations require documents issued within 3-6 months. Confirm with the receiving authority first.
Submitting an uncertified photocopy instead of the original — the receiving office will not review it and you rejoin the queue.
Name mismatch between the document and the passport — embassies reject these. Correct it at the district office before translating.
