What it costs
You pay one flat Expeal fee, plus the government fees Florida and your county charge (FDLE's executive director may waive FDLE's fee). The sources below name where every government figure comes from — the statute, FDLE or USPS — and when we checked it; a county's own figures come from its guide, with their sources.

What is not included
- An attorney's representation. Expeal is not a law firm. You file the petition yourself, and nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship.
- Fingerprinting. The law enforcement or criminal justice agency that takes your prints sets its own charge.
- Certified copies, where your county requires them. The clerk charges for those, up to the amounts state law sets.
- Expeal is not a law firm.
- This does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- Outcomes depend on the court and may vary.
