Processing times
Estimated Processing Times for Apostille & Authentication: 50 States, Federal, and Embassy/Consulate
Processing begins upon receipt of both payment and required documents. The estimates below reflect current turnaround times based on recent government processing speeds. While we handle every order promptly, government review timelines are beyond our control and non-guaranteed. Please check back regularly for updates.
Note: If embassy legalization requires state authentication and/or U.S. Department of State processing prior to submission, please calculate the total time across all required steps.
