Editor's note
'Expedited' here means overnight return service when the requester encloses a pre-addressed, pre-paid airbill; the office does not advertise expedited processing. Walk-in appointments are booked online at forms.sos.idaho.gov/business-appointment-request/ but documents are not submitted online. No apostille-specific email is listed (web contact form only). Page warns that change for large cash bills is limited. Apostilles can be verified at sosbiz.idaho.gov/apostille. Request form available in English and Spanish.
