How fast can a rush job be done, and what should I watch for?
Short standard documents such as a birth certificate or house registration can usually be delivered as a file within one business day. The caution is that rush work compresses the revision stage, so always reserve time to check it before lodging.
In-depth Answer
Four things set the pace: page count and text density, the legibility of what you send, how specialised the terminology is, and whether delivery is a file only or a printed set that must be couriered.
A clean scan of a one- or two-page civil registry document is the most predictable job there is; a judgment, a medical report, or a contract full of terms of art takes proportionally longer.
The risk in a rush is that the stage which gets compressed is the second review — precisely the check that catches errors in numbers and names.
What genuinely helps: send high-quality scans plus the passport page from the outset, tell the provider your real lodgement deadline, and leave yourself at least half a day to check the work before uploading it.
