Which element specifies the charges required to register?

• A. Fees
• B. Separability clause
• C. Penal provisions
• D. Refusal to issue cert

Answer: (A)

Charges to register are defined by the fees. The fee schedule sets the exact amount that must be paid to file or record a document, and it can vary by document type, jurisdiction, and filing method. This is distinct from other provisions: a separability clause deals with what happens if part of a law is struck down and leaves the rest intact; penal provisions describe the penalties for violating the law; and a provision about refusing to issue a certificate governs whether a certificate can be issued at all, not the cost of the registration. So, the monetary charges for registering are the fees.
