FDD Review
States
These states require the filing of the FDD and supporting documents. Examiners in these states will review the contents of the FDD and usually issue a comment letter with corrections and clarifications.
The Kinsey Law Office will prepare your initial filing and respond to the comment letters that are issued for the flat fee of $1,200 per state. If you are already registered, The Kinsey Law Office will file your renewal for the flat fee of $800 per state. Each state's filing fees are listed below.
