Processing times vary depending on the type of document and the issuing authority. Maryland state documents typically take 2–5 business days once received. Expedited options may be available upon request.

Yes. We offer rush service options for certain document types. Contact us to confirm availability and turnaround times for your specific needs.

We provide Apostille services for all 50 U.S. states. If your document was issued outside Maryland, we will route it through the correct Secretary of State office.

4. Can you apostille federal documents?

7. What types of payment do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and secure online payments. Full payment is required before processing begins.

8. Do my documents need to be notarized before apostille?

Some documents (such as diplomas, transcripts, or power of attorney forms) require notarization before they can be apostilled. We offer notary services if needed.
