Has anyone recently gotten anything apostilled in Austin recently? Is “while you wait” or at least “same day” service usually available for walk-ins? It’s really been a pain in the ass to get some of these documents that I need for a residency visa and it would be worth it for me to drive to Austin and handle it rather than risk their disappearing into the ether before I got them back. I can’t get anything more than “it depends” from them, so I’m wondering if anyone has some actual experience here.

Thanks…

My experience was 15 years ago. We drove down from Arlington to Austin in the morning and waited a couple of hours total.

At least that’s something. I just don’t want to get down there and hear, “Yeah, this is going to take a week.”

Hell, I thought Chad Briscoe was interested in following Jesus. Sorry to bother you guys.

I've had to get some documents done recently - the mail service was taking 1-2 months to get it done.  I ended up paying a service I found online to get it done in 24 hours (plus overnight mail time).  I don't remember the cost but I was thinking it was cheaper than the cost of a daytrip to Austin...

Good to know. Unless they have some kind of “in” and only use some messenger to haul them down to the SoS, it bodes well for same day. 

I do this 2-3 times a year. drive up from Houston in the morning, pop into the SoS office with the money order, they go into a back room and come out with the apostilles and receipt in less than a minute. at their busiest they’ll tell you to come back after lunch, but normally I’m back to the car in less than 10 minutes.
