Urgent Apostille & Notarized Translation — in 1 Day

Yes, it can be faster. A notarized translation is usually ready in 1 business day, while an apostille takes from 1 to a few days depending on the authority. We're upfront from the start: not everything can be rushed — the Ministry of Justice typically issues an apostille within 3 business days, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is slow (requests take from 20 business days), and those timeframes can't be bypassed. We send you a realistic SLA for your specific document and country, with no "guaranteed in an hour" promises. We work remotely across Ukraine: send scans and we start today.

  • Urgent notarized translation — usually in 1 business day
  • Ministry of Justice apostille — typically up to 3 business days; speed-up not always possible
  • An honest SLA for your document: we don't promise what's out of our hands
  • Remote across Ukraine: scans today | finished by Nova Poshta

We work urgently and remotely across Ukraine: send scans from any city today, receive the finished package by Nova Poshta, and we handle submission to the authorities in Kyiv for you.

What can actually be sped up — and what can't

A notarized translation depends only on us and an available notary, so a standard package is usually ready in 1 business day. An apostille depends on the authority and speeds up differently: the Ministry of Justice (civil registry certificates, notarial, court and archival documents) usually issues it within 3 business days, the Ministry of Education (diplomas, school certificates) within 5 business days or more, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (criminal record certificate) up to 10 business days. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (medical and other documents) is the slowest: requests take from 20 business days and are almost impossible to accelerate. We'll tell you honestly what can be compressed and where the timeframe is fixed by law.

Why we don't promise "guaranteed in an hour"

Timeframes at state authorities are set by the authority, not the agency. Anyone promising a Ministry of Foreign Affairs apostille "in a day" or guaranteeing a third party's outcome is misleading you. We're accountable for our part: we translate fast, certify with the notary the same day, and promptly submit the document in Kyiv under a notarized power of attorney. For the part that depends on the authority, we give an indicative SLA based on real practice — not a best-case scenario. If your country is covered by a legal-aid treaty (Poland, Czechia, Moldova, CIS countries), no apostille is needed at all — a notarized translation is enough, and that's the fastest route.

How we save you time

We start your document the day you reach out, not "when your turn comes." We run the translation and notarial certification in parallel, confirming the spelling of names in advance to avoid rework. We submit to the right authority in Kyiv ourselves — no travel and no queues for you. You send originals by Nova Poshta, and we pick the fastest valid route for your country: sometimes a notarized translation replaces the apostille altogether, saving days. We return the finished package by Nova Poshta or forward it abroad.

Urgent and remote across Ukraine

There's no need to travel — the whole process is online. Send clear scans today and we'll immediately quote a realistic timeframe and price including the express surcharge. For a standard notarized translation a scan is usually enough; when an apostille on the original or certification of a true copy is required, you send the original by Nova Poshta and we submit it in Kyiv for you. We show the authorities' state fees as a separate line, with no hidden amounts. We confirm the exact estimate and timeframe after reviewing the scans.

FAQ

How fast can an urgent notarized translation really be done?

A standard notarized translation is usually ready in 1 business day, subject to an available notary. Large volumes or rare languages may need more time — we'll quote the exact timeframe after reviewing the scans.

Can an apostille be expedited?

It depends on the authority. The Ministry of Justice usually issues an apostille within 3 business days, but speeding it up isn't always possible. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is slow — requests take from 20 business days and can't be bypassed. We'll give you a realistic timeframe for your document.

Can a Ministry of Foreign Affairs apostille be done in a day?

No. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs accepts documents with a turnaround from 20 business days, and no agency can speed that up. If someone promises an MFA apostille "in a day," that's misleading. We quote only realistic timeframes.

How much does express service cost?

The express surcharge is roughly ×1.5 of the standard service rate. Authorities' state fees are paid separately. We confirm the exact amount after reviewing the scans, since it depends on the document, language and destination country.

Is an urgent apostille always needed?

Not always. For countries with a legal-aid treaty (Poland, Czechia, Moldova, CIS countries) no apostille is required — a notarized translation is enough. That's the fastest route, and we'll check your country for free.

Can I order urgently and remotely?

Yes. You send scans today, we start the same day, certify with the notary and, if needed, submit the document in Kyiv under a power of attorney. We return the finished package by Nova Poshta — no travel required.
