Charging patrons at a FamilySearch center in North America

Use of FamilySearch center resources is free. Centers do not charge for the use of computers and do not charge fees for classes or workshops. Patrons do not pay for help from center staff. 

Copy Fees

FamilySearch centers decide whether to charge guests for prints and copies. Consult with your high councilor to decide whether to charge for copies. If you decide to charge for prints or copies, keep these standards in mind:

  • Fees must be the same for all guests.
  • Fees can only cover the cost of the print (paper and toner).
  • Guests do not pay for unusable copies caused by a malfunctioning printer.
