3.3 Delivery and charging

While the mode of delivery is at the discretion of the Member concerned, it is recommended that delivery of documents should be by the fastest means possible. In the first instance, if the Member has such facilities, the documents should be sent by e-mail, or by fax. Alternatively, a Member can send the documents by post or via a requesting Member’s diplomatic mission in their territory

A country may only charge the same cost for the documents as it would for its own nationals plus the cost of delivering the documents. However, it is not very cost-effective or easy to recover such small amounts as are normally charged for any documents and therefore you are encouraged not to charge as a gesture of goodwill.
