The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in EUR (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 10 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. Derivation as chartered: one row per jurisdiction per record type: the office that issues it, the request route (online portal, municipal counter, postal), the fee, the stated turnaround, and whether an apostille is needed; the derived figures are the total document cost and elapsed time to assemble a three-generation file per country, and the count of countries whose records are now issuable online - which is changing fast (Italy's ANPR opened civil-status extracts in 2026)", "embed": "
