Same day submission means we take your document to the FCDO Legalisation Office on the same calendar day you drop it off — provided it arrives at our Guildhall Yard, London office before 10 am. The FCDO processes it and we receive the apostilled document back the following working day, which is why we call this our next day apostille service. The FCDO no longer offers a same day return service, so next working day is the fastest turnaround available.
