In short
Can I get an apostille the same day in Toronto?
Yes — 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 instead of mailing it. Same-day rush is $300 for the first document; mail-in requests to ODS take about 15 business days.

Urgent apostille FAQ
Fast answers for people in a hurry
- How fast can you really turn this around?
- If your document reaches us before 10:00 AM and is ready for filing, we can often file it in person at ODS and return it to you the same business day. Timing depends on document type and ODS availability, so call us first to confirm.
- What if it is already past 10 AM?
- Call us anyway. Depending on the day and your document, we may still file same day or first thing next business morning. The sooner we hear from you, the more options you have.
- How much is same-day rush?
- Same-day rush service is $300 for the first document. Additional documents filed at the same time are $50 for the second, $45 each for documents 3–5, and $40 each from the sixth onward, so the per-document rate drops as your count grows. The ODS government fee is already included in that price.
- Do you pick up documents?
- Yes. We offer rush courier pickup and secure return delivery across the Greater Toronto Area so you do not lose time traveling.
