Expedited apostille service is designed for clients who need faster document review, priority preparation, and close handling from intake through return shipping.

Clients use this option for urgent immigration matters, school deadlines, employment start dates, marriage abroad, business filings, court matters, family requests, and time-sensitive foreign document needs.

The fastest safe route depends on the document type, issuing authority, destination country, notarization, translation needs, and whether the receiving country requires an apostille or embassy legalization.

Why Expedited Review Matters

Urgent apostille requests need more than speed.

They need the right route from the beginning.

Submitting the wrong document, wrong version, wrong notarization, or wrong destination process can waste time and create new delays.

Apostille Global Services reviews the packet before preparation so the fastest available route is also the strongest route for the document.

Quick Facts

• Service type: Priority apostille and document handling support
• Common use: Immigration, school, employment, marriage abroad, business, court, family, and deadline-sensitive requests
• Main risk: Rushing the wrong document through the wrong process
• Best next step: Choose the right service option before preparing the packet.

What Expedited Handling Can Include

• Priority document review
• Faster preparation after intake is complete
• Routing review for state, federal, notarized, court, school, or business documents
• Destination country review

Common Problems That Can Delay an Urgent Packet

• The document is not the correct certified version
• The destination country requires embassy legalization instead of an apostille
• The notarization is incomplete or not accepted for the route
• The issuing authority is unclear
• The document has an unclear seal, signature, name, or date
• The translation need was not reviewed before submission
• The client needs document retrieval before the apostille can begin

Walk-In Services We Offer

For the fastest possible turnaround, Apostille Global Services offers in-person walk-in submission at two locations. Walk-in handling typically returns the apostilled document in one to three business days after our team receives it, compared to six or more weeks for standard mail-in processing.

California Secretary of State — Walk-In (Sacramento and Los Angeles)

For California-issued state documents, our team walks documents directly into the California Secretary of State apostille counter.

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Department of State Walk-In

For federal documents (FBI background checks, USDA, FDA, IRS, USCIS, and other federal-issued records), our Washington, D.C. team hand-delivers documents to the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications.

• Location: 1390 V Street NW, Suite 209, Washington, D.C. 20009
• Price: $200 per document (includes government fees)
• Turnaround: 1–3 business days once we receive the document
• Digital-issued documents: If your document was issued digitally (for example, a digital FBI Identity History Summary), you can email the original PDF to info@apostilleglobalservices.com for walk-in submission. Note: the U.S. Department of State may reject printed copies of digitally-issued documents in some cases.
