Standard processing takes 5-7 business days. We also offer expedited (2-3 days) and rush (24-48 hours) services for urgent needs. Processing time depends on document type and current volume.

Do I need to send original documents?

Apostilles are accepted in all countries that signed the Hague Apostille Convention. This includes over 120 countries worldwide. For non-Hague countries, embassy legalization may be required.

What if my document is rejected?

If a document cannot be apostilled due to technical issues, we'll contact you immediately with alternatives. Our money-back guarantee ensures you're never charged for services we cannot complete.
