How DataFlow fees actually work
DataFlow doesn't charge a single flat price. Your fee is built from the documents being verified β each degree, health licence and block of employment history is a separate component. A standard package covers one degree, one licence and your recent experience; anything extra (a second degree, additional licences, or more past employers) adds roughly the per-document fee shown above.
On top of DataFlow's own charge, some universities and regulators levy a document-release fee to respond to the verification request. These vary widely and are outside DataFlow's control, which is why two applicants for the same authority can pay different totals.

How to keep your DataFlow cost down
- β’ Only submit the documents your authority and target title actually require β extras add cost.
- β’ Reuse a verified report where you can: transfers between authorities are far cheaper than re-verifying.
- β’ Get document preparation right the first time β a rejected or unclear document means a paid resubmission.
- β’ Check whether your past employers or university charge release fees so there are no surprises.
