    Important Pricing Disclosure

    Service fees listed above do not include state filing fees. State filing fees are determined by the Secretary of State and vary by jurisdiction. Return shipping costs are calculated separately based on your selected delivery method.

    While we make every effort to submit documents for Apostille as quickly as possible, processing times are set by the issuing state and may vary. Expedited service refers to our internal handling time and submission speed. Although we strive to meet all requested deadlines, delays may occur due to state processing backlogs, holidays, incomplete documentation, or other factors beyond our control.

    Additional fees may apply for government-imposed rush processing, emergency same-day handling, travel, wait times, courier services, document correction, international shipping upgrades, or special handling requirements.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does an apostille cost?+
    Our apostille service fees start at $245 for Standard processing. The total cost depends on your selected service tier, the issuing state, and whether expedited handling is needed. State filing fees are separate and vary by jurisdiction.
    Why are your apostille service fees higher than state filing fees alone?+
    State filing fees only cover the government's cost to attach the apostille certificate. Our service fee covers the full professional management of your request — including document compliance review, notary verification, submission handling, status monitoring, rejection prevention, and secure return shipping coordination.
    Are state filing fees included in your service price?+
    No. State filing fees are determined by each state's Secretary of State and vary by jurisdiction. These fees are charged separately. We provide a complete cost breakdown before processing your request.
    How fast can I get an apostille?+
    Our fastest option is Same-Day processing, available when state office schedules permit. Next-Day and Priority tiers offer 1–3 business day turnaround. Standard processing is 3–5 business days. All timeframes refer to our internal handling and submission speed — final processing is determined by the Secretary of State.
    What is same-day apostille service?+
    Same-Day service means we prioritize your document for immediate review, preparation, and submission to the Secretary of State on the same business day. Availability depends on state office hours and workload. Manual confirmation is required.
    What is emergency rush processing?+
    Emergency Rush is our highest-priority tier for mission-critical filings that require immediate action. This service requires manual approval and is priced based on the complexity, state, and urgency of your request. Contact us directly for a custom quote.
    Do you guarantee processing times?+
    We guarantee our internal handling and submission speed for each service tier. However, final apostille processing times are set by the issuing state's Secretary of State and may vary due to backlogs, holidays, or other factors beyond our control.
    What happens if my document is rejected by the Secretary of State?+
    If a document is rejected, we notify you immediately with a detailed explanation and guidance on how to resolve the issue. Our compliance review process is specifically designed to catch common rejection reasons before submission, significantly reducing the risk of delays.
    Can I track my apostille request?+
    Yes. We provide status updates throughout the process, from document receipt through submission, processing, and return shipping. Priority and higher-tier clients receive more frequent and direct communication.
    Do you handle federal apostilles for FBI background checks?+
    Yes. FBI background check apostilles are processed through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We manage the full submission process, including document review and secure handling. Federal processing timelines differ from state apostilles.
