04How Much Does the FIFA Agent Exam & Licence Cost?
You pay the exam fee to FIFA, not to your federation, and FIFA only reveals the amount on its Agent Platform, before you submit your application — member associations may not charge anything in relation to the exam. What is fixed and published is the licence: USD 600 within 90 days of passing, then USD 300 a year.
