Fastest Way to Get an Apostille in Florida
Updated: Sep 9
If you need an apostille quickly, you’re probably searching for the fastest way to get it done. The truth is, most delays happen because of mistakes — not because the process itself has to be slow.
If everything is handled correctly from the start, the timeline can be significantly reduced.
Why Most Apostilles Take So Long
The standard process through the state can take:
👉 6 weeks or more
This timeline increases when:
Documents are incorrect
Notarization is incomplete
Information is missing
Documents are rejected and resubmitted
Every mistake adds time.
The Fastest Way Starts Before Submission
Speed isn’t about skipping steps — it’s about eliminating problems.
The fastest results come from:
Using the correct document type
Making sure notarization is done properly
Double-checking everything before submission
Getting it right the first time is the key to speed.
Need help making sure your documents are ready? We review everything before submission to help prevent delays and move the process faster.

Avoid the Most Common Delays
If you want to move fast, avoid:
Incorrect notarization
Missing signatures or pages
Submitting unofficial or outdated documents
Sending documents to the wrong office
These are the biggest time-wasters in the entire process.
Shipping and Handling Matter
How you send and receive documents also impacts timing.
Using faster, trackable shipping:
Reduces delays
Helps you monitor progress
Prevents lost documents
Standard mailing can slow everything down.
The Reality of “Fast” Apostilles
There is no instant or same-day apostille through the state.
However, the process can still be significantly faster when:
Documents are correct
Submission is handled efficiently
Delays are avoided from the start
This is what separates a 6-week process from a much faster one.
The Fastest Apostille Option We Offer
Rush apostille processing for eligible Florida documents is available in as little as 1–2 business days after the properly prepared originals are received. The processing period begins when the correct documents arrive—not when a shipping label is created or the package is placed in transit.
The fastest approach is to confirm the document before sending it. We can review the issuing authority, certification, signatures, notarization, attached pages, destination country, and receiving organization. This helps identify issues before they interfere with an urgent deadline.
Clients may call, text, or upload clear document images. Uploading is optional, and we can answer questions or schedule an appointment in English or Spanish. We also provide certified English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English translations that can be coordinated with eligible apostille orders.
A prepaid FedEx label and tracked return delivery are available. Pickup, transportation, customs clearance, weekends, holidays, and final delivery are not included in the 1–2 business-day apostille processing timeframe.
