Why does DANB assess an application processing fee?
DANB is a nonprofit corporation and, as such, must charge fees to cover operating costs. DANB does not receive grants or donations from other agencies. DANBs income is generated almost solely through examination and renewal fees. As you can imagine, there are many steps involved in registering a candidate for a DANB examination. Applications are opened and sorted, fees are processed and posted, and individual candidate computer records are created. Each application is reviewed to ensure that eligibility requirements are met and confirmation or incomplete letters are generated to finish the review process.
