Same-Day Apostille Service in MA & NH, Delivered in 24 Hours
A deadline you cannot move and a document that needs an apostille today? For documents issued in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, we offer a guaranteed 24-hour same-day apostille service. We hand-walk your document through the state office and get it back to you fast, with the reliability of a licensed, insured provider that has done this since 2012. Restrictions apply, see the details below.
When you cannot wait weeks, we move in hours
Some apostille situations do not allow for a one-to-three-week timeline. A flight leaves tomorrow. A foreign employer needs the document by end of day to release a contract. A closing abroad will not wait. A consulate appointment is in the morning and the file is incomplete. For documents issued in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, our same-day apostille service exists for exactly these moments, with a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround so you can stop worrying about the paperwork and focus on the deadline itself.
This is a premium, hand-delivered service. Instead of mailing your document and waiting in the standard queue, a member of our team physically takes your document to the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth or the New Hampshire Secretary of State, walks it through the apostille process in person, and returns it to you within 24 hours. The speed comes from being local, knowing the offices, and doing this every week. The reliability comes from being a licensed, insured business with a real office and a track record since 2012, not an anonymous website making promises it cannot keep.
Below you will find exactly what is included, who qualifies, how it works, what it costs, and the restrictions that apply to the 24-hour guarantee. If your deadline is today, do not read first, call us at (978) 424-4629 and we will tell you in two minutes whether we can make it happen.

Who qualifies for same-day service
Same-day, 24-hour apostille is possible because we can reach the Massachusetts and New Hampshire state offices in person. That is also why it has clear boundaries. Your document qualifies for the guaranteed 24-hour service when all of the following are true.
- The document was issued in Massachusetts or New Hampshire. It must be apostilled by the MA Secretary of the Commonwealth or the NH Secretary of State. Documents from other states cannot use this service.
- It is already apostille-ready. You have a current certified copy, and any required notarization or county certification is already complete and correct.
- Your destination accepts an apostille. The receiving country is a Hague Convention member. Documents for non-Hague countries need embassy legalization, which cannot be done same-day.
- We receive it by the daily cutoff. Your document, payment, and instructions reach us in time for that day's office run.
- The state office is open and operating normally. Same-day is not available on weekends, state holidays, or during office closures or outages.
Not sure if your document qualifies? That is what our free pre-check is for. Send us a photo or call us and we will confirm in minutes, before you commit to the rush fee.
Documents eligible for same-day apostille
If it was issued in MA or NH and is apostille-ready, we can likely rush it. Common same-day documents include:
Power of attorney
Notarized in MA or NH, apostilled same-day for a closing or transaction abroad.
Corporate documents
MA or NH articles, good-standing certificates, and agreements for a deal on deadline.
Diplomas & transcripts
From MA or NH institutions, notarized and ready, for a fast enrollment or job deadline.
Have a different MA or NH document? Call us and we will tell you whether it qualifies for the 24-hour service.
From your hands to apostilled, within 24 hours
Call or apply
Call (978) 424-4629 or start the rush order online. We confirm eligibility and the cutoff for today.
Get it to us
Drop off at our Tewksbury office, send a local courier, or arrange rush pickup before the cutoff.
We walk it through
A team member hand-carries your document to the MA or NH state office and obtains the apostille in person.
Back in 24 hours
We return it by your chosen method, pickup, courier, or priority shipment, within 24 hours.
Built for real deadlines
Last-minute travelers
You are flying out for a wedding, a job, or a family matter and discovered at the last moment that a foreign office needs an apostilled certificate before you arrive.
Business on a clock
A contract, incorporation, or power of attorney has to be authenticated by end of day to keep a deal or closing abroad on schedule.
Visa and consulate deadlines
A consulate appointment or visa portal cutoff is hours away and your file is missing one apostilled document.
Urgent family and legal matters
An estate, a custody matter, or a medical or legal situation abroad cannot wait the standard timeline.
Same-day service across Massachusetts and New Hampshire
Our office is in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, in the Boston suburbs and close to the New Hampshire line, which is what makes same-day service possible for both states. We regularly handle rush apostilles for clients across the region, including Boston, Cambridge, Lowell, Andover, Burlington, Woburn, Waltham, Worcester, and the North Shore in Massachusetts, and Nashua, Manchester, Salem, and the southern New Hampshire towns.
You do not have to be local to use the service. As long as your document was issued in Massachusetts or New Hampshire and you can get it to us by the daily cutoff, by drop-off, local courier, or overnight delivery the day before, we can run it same-day. If you are nearby, in-person drop-off and pickup is often the fastest option of all. See our office and contact details.
Same-day, express, or economy
Same-day is our fastest option for MA and NH documents. If your deadline allows more time, our standard services cost less.
Same-Day Rush (MA & NH)
$385.95 — guaranteed 24-hour delivery for eligible MA and NH documents. The fastest option available.
Express
$199.95 — state documents in 1 to 5 business days. A strong choice when you have a few days.
Economy
$149.95 — state documents in 1 to 3 weeks, with the government fee included. Best value when time allows.

The 24-hour guarantee: how it works and what it does not cover
We stand behind the 24-hour delivery for eligible orders, and we are clear about the conditions so there are no surprises. The guarantee applies when your order meets the eligibility requirements above and the following hold true.
What the guarantee covers
For an eligible MA or NH document, destined for a Hague Convention country, received complete and apostille-ready by our daily cutoff, on a normal business day, we guarantee the apostille is completed and on its way back to you within 24 hours. If we miss that window due to our own error, we will refund the same-day rush premium. Your document still gets apostilled; the guarantee is about the speed.
What is not covered
- Documents issued outside Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
- FBI reports and other federal documents, which are apostilled in Washington, D.C.
- Documents that are not apostille-ready, such as the wrong copy, a missing notarization, or an incomplete certification.
- Destinations that require embassy legalization rather than an apostille.
- Delays caused by the state office, weather, weekends, holidays, government closures, or courier services, which are outside our control.
- Orders received after the daily cutoff, which begin on the next business day.
Because the rush service starts immediately and the government fee is paid on your behalf, same-day orders are non-refundable once submitted to the state office, except for the speed remedy described above. Full terms are in our terms of agreement. When in doubt, call us first and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet your deadline.
Why same-day is possible in MA and NH, but not everywhere
Same-day apostille is not a trick or a shortcut around the government. It is simply what becomes possible when a document can be hand-carried to the issuing authority and walked through the process in person, the same day, rather than mailed and queued. Massachusetts and New Hampshire documents qualify because our office in Tewksbury sits within reach of both the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth and the New Hampshire Secretary of State. A team member can be at the counter, submit your document, wait for the apostille, and bring it back, all inside a single day.
That is also why the service is limited to these two states. A birth certificate from Texas or California has to be apostilled by Texas or California, and we cannot be at those counters today. Those documents still move quickly on our Express service, but they cannot be same-day. Federal documents are a separate case entirely: an FBI background check is apostilled only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., which no local courier can reach in person on demand. Understanding this distinction up front is the difference between a realistic 24-hour plan and a missed deadline, and it is the first thing we confirm when you call.
What "apostille-ready" means, and how to get there today
The 24-hour clock only runs cleanly when the document is already in the right form. A document is apostille-ready when it is a current certified copy from the issuing office, with any required notarization or county certification already complete and correct. If a step is missing, we have to add it before the state office will attach the apostille, and that can move you off the same-day timeline.
Here is what that looks like in practice. A vital record, like a Massachusetts or New Hampshire birth, marriage, or death certificate, must be a certified copy issued by the state or city or town clerk, not a commemorative or hospital version. A document you sign, like a power of attorney or affidavit, must be notarized first, and the notarization has to be done correctly by a Massachusetts or New Hampshire notary. A diploma or transcript usually needs to be notarized or certified by the school before the state will apostille it. A corporate document may need a certificate from the state or a notarized signature.
If you are not sure whether your document is ready, do not guess and do not wait. Send us a clear photo or call us, and we will tell you in minutes exactly what, if anything, it needs. In many cases, especially for notarization, we can complete the missing step quickly so your document is ready to run the same day. Our free pre-check exists precisely so the rush fee is never spent on a document that the state would turn away.
Same-day apostille for Massachusetts documents
Massachusetts documents are apostilled by the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Birth, marriage, and death certificates issued by a Massachusetts city or town clerk or by the state, along with notarized powers of attorney, corporate filings, and notarized academic documents, can all qualify for same-day service when they are apostille-ready. Because our office is in the Boston suburbs, we run documents to the state office regularly and know how the process moves on a given day.
If you are in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Lowell, Lawrence, Andover, Burlington, Woburn, Waltham, Newton, Worcester, or anywhere in eastern or central Massachusetts, the fastest path is often to drop your document at our Tewksbury office, or send it by a local same-day courier, before the daily cutoff. We confirm eligibility, walk it through the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and return it to you within 24 hours, frequently the same business day. If your destination country is a Hague Convention member, a single apostille is all you need.
Same-day apostille for New Hampshire documents
New Hampshire documents are apostilled by the New Hampshire Secretary of State. Vital records issued by a New Hampshire town or city clerk or by the state, notarized powers of attorney and affidavits, business filings, and notarized academic documents can qualify for same-day service when they are apostille-ready. Our proximity to the New Hampshire line is what makes a true 24-hour turnaround possible for our southern New Hampshire neighbors.
If you are in Nashua, Manchester, Salem, Derry, Londonderry, Hudson, Merrimack, Concord, or the surrounding towns, you can drop your document at our nearby Tewksbury office or send it by courier ahead of the cutoff. We confirm it is ready, hand-carry it to the New Hampshire Secretary of State, and get the apostilled document back to you within 24 hours. As with Massachusetts, the same-day path applies to documents headed to Hague Convention countries; non-Hague destinations require embassy legalization, which takes longer.
Tips to hit a same-day turnaround
When a deadline is hours away, small decisions make the difference. These steps help us deliver inside the 24-hour window.
- Call first. A two-minute call confirms eligibility and today's cutoff before you spend the rush fee.
- Have the certified copy in hand, not on order. If you still need to obtain it, ask us, since some local records can be retrieved quickly.
- Make sure any notarization is already done correctly, by a Massachusetts or New Hampshire notary, before the document reaches us.
- Confirm your destination country accepts an apostille. If it needs embassy legalization, same-day is not possible.
- Choose the fastest hand-off you can: in-person drop-off, a local same-day courier, or overnight delivery the day before.
- Tell us your exact deadline and how you want the finished document returned, so we plan the return leg from the start.
Do all of that, and a document that felt impossible this morning can be apostilled and on its way back to you by tomorrow. When you are ready, call (978) 424-4629 or start your rush order.
Same-day apostille FAQs
How fast is same-day apostille?
We guarantee delivery within 24 hours for eligible Massachusetts and New Hampshire documents received by our daily cutoff. In many cases the apostille is completed the same business day.
How much does it cost?
The same-day rush service is $385.95, with the government fee included. Standard Express is $199.95 and Economy is $149.95 if your deadline allows more time.
Which states qualify?
Only Massachusetts and New Hampshire, because we hand-deliver to those state offices. Documents issued in other states use our standard or express service.
What documents can be done same-day?
MA or NH birth, marriage, and death certificates, notarized powers of attorney, corporate documents, and notarized diplomas, as long as they are apostille-ready. Call us to confirm yours.
Can you do an FBI report same-day?
No. FBI background checks are federal and apostilled in Washington, D.C., so they cannot use the MA or NH same-day service. We do offer expedited federal handling on our FBI report page.
What is the daily cutoff?
It depends on the state office hours that day. Call (978) 424-4629 and we will tell you the exact cutoff for today and whether your document can make it.
What if my document is not ready?
It must be a current certified copy with any required notarization complete. If it is not ready, we will tell you during the free pre-check and help you get it ready, though that may move you off the same-day timeline.
Is the 24-hour delivery really guaranteed?
Yes, for eligible orders received by the cutoff on a normal business day, for Hague-country destinations. If we miss the window due to our own error, we refund the rush premium. State, weather, and courier delays are outside our control.
Do you offer pickup and delivery?
Yes. You can drop off and pick up at our Tewksbury office, arrange a local courier, or have us return the document by priority shipment.
What if my country needs legalization, not an apostille?
Non-Hague countries like the UAE, China, and Qatar require embassy legalization, which involves additional offices and cannot be completed same-day. We handle that on a standard timeline.
