What the courier fee covers
Courier fees cover the cost of physically transporting documents between parties — the title company, lender, county recorder, and sometimes the borrower. This fee appears in Section C or Section H of your Closing Disclosure.
Courier fees typically range from $25 to $100. In the era of electronic recording and digital document transmission, many consumer advocates consider this fee a relic. Most documents are transmitted electronically, making a physical courier charge questionable in many transactions.
This fee appears in Section H — Other of your Closing Disclosure.
Is the courier fee negotiable in Utah?
Courier fees are easily negotiable and often removable. Ask your lender or title company: 'Are any documents in this closing being physically couriered, or is everything transmitted electronically?' If the answer is electronic, request removal.

Courier Fee questions
Is a courier fee a junk fee?
Often, yes. Most modern closings transmit documents electronically. If no physical courier was used, this fee is not justified. The CFPB has flagged courier fees as a common junk fee on mortgage closings.
Can I get the courier fee removed?
Yes. Simply ask your lender or title company whether any documents were physically couriered. If everything is electronic, request removal in writing.
What is a normal courier fee?
If a physical courier is genuinely used, $25 to $50 is reasonable. Anything above $75 should be questioned, and any courier fee in an all-electronic closing should be challenged.
