The Nevada Secretary of State’s standard apostille processing time is typically 6–8 weeks after your documents arrive at their Authentication Division. Lake Mead Mobile Notary provides same-day document preparation (when notarization is required) and courier coordination to submit your documents and streamline your timeline wherever possible within state processing limits.
Note: The apostille certificate itself is issued exclusively by the Nevada Secretary of State. Our role is to prepare, notarize (if needed), and deliver your documents to the state office and return completed apostilles to you.
