When Is Same-Day Service Available?
Some California apostille requests can be completed the same day when the documents are eligible, properly prepared, and submitted within the required timeframe. Processing availability depends on government operations and the specific circumstances of each request.
What Can Delay the Process?
Delays may occur if documents require additional preparation, involve another state, require federal authentication through the U.S. Department of State, or need certified or sworn translations.
Every apostille request is different. The type of document, where it was issued, and the country where it will be used all affect the process.
How Prismark Can Help
Located just minutes from the California Secretary of State’s Los Angeles Apostille Office, Prismark Signature Services specializes in expedited same-day California apostille service for clients facing urgent deadlines.
We review your documents before processing begins to help determine whether they are properly prepared and eligible for expedited service. In qualifying cases, properly prepared California documents can often be processed in as little as four hours, depending on the time received and government processing availability.
If notarization is required before the apostille can be issued, Prismark can provide mobile notary service and coordinate the apostille process from there.
If your documents will be presented in a country where another language is required, Prismark can coordinate certified and sworn translations in more than 150 languages through our trusted translation partners.
For your peace of mind, Prismark is a bonded California Notary Public, background screened, and carries $1 million in Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance. Your important documents are handled with professionalism, confidentiality, and care throughout the authentication process.
If your documents require an apostille from another state or federal authentication through the U.S. Department of State rather than California processing, Prismark can coordinate the appropriate process through our trusted nationwide network of professional apostille and authentication affiliates.
