GDPR EU Representative Cost — Complete Price Guide
Complete cost guide for GDPR Article 27 EU Representative services. Compare providers, understand pricing models, and budget from EUR 490/yr.
What Does an EU Representative Cost?
The cost of a GDPR Article 27 EU Representative varies widely depending on the provider type, location, and service level. This guide compares your options so you can make an informed decision.
Provider Types and Price Ranges
Law Firms — EUR 1,500-5,000/year
Many EU law firms offer Article 27 representation as an ancillary service. Advantages: deep GDPR legal expertise. Disadvantages: expensive, often charge extra for correspondence handling (EUR 200-500 per letter), require annual legal retainer in addition to representation fee, slow setup (2-4 weeks).
Specialized Compliance Providers — EUR 300-1,000/year
Companies focused solely on Article 27 (like EU Shield) offer the best value. At EUR 490/year, EU Shield includes: EU-established address, service of process, correspondence forwarding, ROPA storage, and professional liability coverage — all in one flat fee. Setup in 15 minutes.
Virtual Office Providers — EUR 100-500/year
“Mailbox” or “virtual office” services are cheapest — but they do not satisfy Article 27. A mailbox service does not accept service of process, has no GDPR liability coverage, and cannot legally represent you before EU DPAs. Avoid these for Article 27 purposes.
Hidden Costs to Watch For
- Correspondence handling fees: Some providers charge per letter forwarded (EUR 50-200 each)
- Setup/onboarding fees: EUR 100-500 one-time charge on top of annual fee
- Service of process surcharges: Additional fees for accepting DPA correspondence
- ROPA storage fees: Extra cost for storing your processing records
- Language surcharges: Higher fees for non-English correspondence
- Multi-member state surcharges: Extra for covering multiple EU countries
