How Apostille Express Works with Rais Apostille

We’ve built our Apostille Express system to be easy, accurate, and lightning-fast. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Consultation and Document Review

We begin with a free consultation to review your document and ensure it qualifies for apostille. We confirm whether it’s a state or federal document and determine if translation or notarization is needed.

Step 2: Courier or Digital Submission

You send us the original document via overnight mail or, in some cases, a digitally notarized copy. We also offer local courier pickup in certain metro areas like New York City and Los Angeles.

Step 3: Expedited Processing

We immediately submit your document to the appropriate state Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State for expedited handling. In some cases, we work with on-site agents to secure same-day or 24-hour apostilles.

Step 4: Final Delivery

Once the apostille is affixed, we return your document via overnight tracked shipping—domestically or internationally.
