These fees may be changed from time to time, but a schedule of fees shall be available on request at all times. In addition to copying charges, the Secretary of State shall collect a fee of six dollars and twenty-five cents ($6.25) for certifying any document or record on file in his office or for issuing any certificate as to the facts shown by the records on file in his office."
