Deadline this week? Start today.

Nobody in Florida hands over a finished apostille across a counter in one afternoon — the certificate comes from the Department of State in Tallahassee, period. What same-day service really means, stated honestly: your documents get picked up or dropped off today, reviewed today, and set in motion today, with rush handling that squeezes the overall timeline down to its true minimum.

The distinction matters because rejections, not processing speed, are what actually kill deadlines. Rushing the wrong document to Tallahassee burns the week you didn't have. Our same-day review exists so whatever goes to the state is right on the first attempt.

Call (561) 475-4757 and tell us the deadline — consulate appointment, visa interview, flight, closing. We'll tell you on the phone, honestly, whether it's achievable. If it is: a same-day office appointment, priority review and notarization, and expedited filing and return logistics quoted up front.

And if the deadline can't be met, you'll hear that too — along with the fastest genuine path and what to tell the consulate about rescheduling. We'd sooner forfeit a rush fee than have you stranded at a foreign counter empty-handed.

Consulate appointments are the most common. Italian, Spanish, Brazilian, and Colombian consulates in Miami book weeks out, and the appointment is worthless if a document in the file is not apostilled. If your appointment is inside two weeks, call today — we can usually make it, but only if the underlying certified copy is already in hand.

Visa interviews and employment start dates run a close second. Gulf-state and East Asian employers typically require an apostilled degree and background check before issuing the visa packet, and the start date rarely moves. Foreign closings are the third: a property sale in Colombia, Brazil, or Spain where the power of attorney has to reach the receiving notary before the signing date.

What makes a rush fail is almost never the state — it is discovering at the counter that the document was the wrong version. A hospital birth certificate instead of a certified copy. The instant FDLE printout instead of the certified record. An unnotarized diploma. Our same-day review exists precisely to catch that on day one, while there is still time to order the right document.
