Avoid depending on it in production, and [reach out](mailto:support@getpalm.com) before building on it. Estimate the government fees for registering an existing business in a state before submitting. Fees are broken down by component (`base`, `dynamic`, `late`, `credit_card`, `ach`); only the components that apply to the jurisdiction are returned. `fee.total` is the all-in grand total assuming credit-card payment. It is always an estimate. Omit `expedited_tier` and, where the state offers expedited processing, the response includes `expedited_tiers`: a menu of `{ tier, fee }` where `fee` is the added surcharge for that speed. Pass `expedited_tier` to fold one tier’s surcharge into the components instead. Any other query parameter is forwarded to the fee calculation as an extra input; a `400` lists any input the state requires that was not supplied. Returns `404` where no fee data is available for the jurisdiction. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/v1/openapi.json get /v1/filing/foreign-qualification/fee openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: Palm Partner API description: >- The Palm API is identity verification and compliance infrastructure for US businesses: onboard businesses, verify businesses and people (KYB/KYC) against authoritative sources, monitor them for changes in real time, and act on their behalf through filings, formation, and registered agent services. version: '1.0' contact: name: Palm Support url: https://getpalm.com email: support@getpalm.com termsOfService: https://getpalm.com/terms license: name: Proprietary url: https://getpalm.com/license servers: - url: https://api.getpalm.com description: Production security: [] tags: - name: Registry description: Search business registries - name: Business description: Manage the businesses in your portfolio - name: User description: Manage the people in your portfolio - name: Verification description: Identity and business verification - name: Monitor description: Continuous monitoring of businesses - name: Filing description: Form a business, apply for an EIN, and register in additional states - name: Case description: Answer a request for information that a filing is waiting on - name: Registered Agent description: Registered agent service for a business - name: Documents description: Retrieve and download any document held for a business or a person paths: /v1/filing/foreign-qualification/fee: get: tags: - Filing summary: Get foreign qualification fee estimate description: >- > **⚠️ Early access** — This endpoint is in preview and may change in backwards-incompatible ways before it is marked stable.
