When a flight, visa cut-off, or consulate appointment will not wait, mailing your apostille to the government is not an option. We hand-carry your file to the ODS counter in Toronto and can often have it authenticated and back to you the same business day.

In short
An Ontario document dropped at Speedy Apostille before 10:00 AM can typically be apostilled and returned the same business day, because we file in person at the Toronto ODS counter rather than by mail. A standard mail-in request to ODS takes roughly 15 business days by comparison.

Rush apostille
A standard mail-in apostille request to ODS can take around fifteen business days — fine when you have time, useless when you do not. Because we file at the counter in person, a document that reaches us before 10 AM and is ready to go can frequently be apostilled the same day.
Call before you courier anything. In one short conversation we can tell you whether your document qualifies for same-day handling, whether it needs notarization first, and exactly what your destination country expects. If we cannot make your deadline, we will say so honestly rather than take the job.
What we do
Notarization, certified true copies, and in-person apostille filing — compressed into a single business day when the clock is against you.
Issued by Official Documents Services, Ontario's designated competent authority under the Hague Convention. Accepted across 128 destinations with no embassy step, no consulate, and no second trip.

An Ontario Notary Public compares your original against a copy and certifies it. The copy travels; the original goes home with you. Private documents are notarized here too — they cannot be apostilled otherwise.

How it works
A rush file moves fast, but the steps are the same. Here is how a same-day apostille flows through our office.
01Text or email a photo of each original. We confirm which documents qualify, what your destination country requires, and the all-in price before you come in.
~15 minutes
02Bring the originals to our office. An Ontario Notary Public certifies true copies against them and notarizes what needs notarizing. If your document doesn’t need notarizing, we apostille it directly. You walk out with your originals.
~20 minutes in office
03We hand-carry your file to ODS in Toronto — or to the consulate when your destination requires legalization instead of an apostille.
Same day – 15 business days
04Apostilled documents returned by tracked courier or picked up in person. Digital scans emailed the moment they're stamped.
Next-day courierWhere it's accepted
A single Ontario apostille is accepted across every Hague Convention member below. Confirm your destination before you rush — some countries still require full consular legalization, and we will tell you which path yours needs.
Membership list maintained from the HCCH status table. Always confirm your specific destination with us before ordering — countries join, and a few members object to individual accessions.
