Indiana Apostille Processing Times in 2025: What You Need to Know

When planning to use your documents overseas, understanding the current Indiana apostille processing times can save you stress, time, and costly delays. In 2025, Indiana offers several submission options—each with different timelines. Here’s the breakdown so you can choose the fastest and most efficient route.

Standard Mail-In Apostille Processing Times

If you mail your documents directly to the Indiana Secretary of State, you can expect:

• 5–7 business days after they receive your paperwork

• Plus USPS or carrier delivery time back to you

This is the slowest method, and delays are common when documents are:

❌ Not notarized correctly

❌ Missing county certifications

❌ Not official certified vital records

Walk-In Processing Times (Fastest Method)

Walk-ins are the quickest option in Indiana, especially if documents are prepared properly.

Typical timeline:

• Same-day or next-day processing depending on the time of submission

• Documents submitted early often get completed before close of business

This is the method Owen’s Document Services uses to expedite your apostilles whenever possible.

How Owen’s Document Services Speeds Up the Process

Because my office is located only 15 minutes from the Indiana Secretary of State, I can:

✔ Hand-deliver documents for review

✔ Monitor their progress

✔ Retrieve them as soon as they are ready

✔ Prevent rejections by pre-screening everything

This reduces the typical turnaround to 24–48 hours for most documents.

This is especially helpful for clients on deadlines, such as:

• International employment

• Visa applications

• Marriage abroad

• Adoption paperwork

• International school enrollment

Expedited Options for Out-of-State Clients

If you live outside Indiana:

• You can overnight your documents to me

• I walk them in

• And return them via priority or overnight shipping

This gives you the same speed as local clients.

Final Recommendations for 2025

To get your apostille completed without delays:

• Use certified vital records only

• Ensure notarizations follow Indiana rules

• Don’t use hospital-issued documents

• Avoid mailing directly unless timing is not urgent
