Publication of renewals and recordal filings will also be affected by the said increases, which are going to take effect on 8 August 2019.

Please note that the value of the Yemeni Riyal (YER) has dropped due to the current unrest, so when fees are converted to US Dollars, the increases do not have a substantial effect on the total price of prosecution; therefore, our schedule of charges will remain as is.

Our new schedule of charges will reflect these increases which are in the official fees only; our professional fees will remain unchanged.
