If you need an apostille quickly, one of the first questions you’ll ask is whether it can be rushed.
The short answer is: there is no true “same-day” apostille through the state — but there are ways to make the process significantly faster if handled correctly.
What the State Actually Offers
In Florida, apostilles are issued by the Secretary of State.
The standard process:
Follows a queue
Depends on document accuracy
Can take 6 weeks or more
There is no guaranteed same-day or instant apostille directly through the state.
Why “Rush Apostille” Can Be Misleading
Many people search for “rush apostille” expecting instant results.
The reality:
Speed depends on how the documents are prepared
Mistakes will slow everything down
Incorrect submissions eliminate any chance of speeding things up
👉 You can’t rush a mistake — you can only avoid it.

Submitting documents correctly the first time
Avoiding rejections and resubmissions

Handling the process efficiently from start to finish
Speed comes from eliminating delays — not skipping steps.
The Biggest Time-Killers to Avoid

Sending the wrong type of document

Mailing errors or delays
