administrative fees
Paperwork processing costs
Administrative fees are charges levied by institutions to cover the costs of processing, managing, or maintaining accounts and services.
Banks charge them for account maintenance, universities for enrollment processing, landlords for lease preparation.
The fees often seem disproportionate to the actual work involved: They hit me with a $200 administrative fee just to process the paperwork.
