A Call for Help: One Client’s Urgent Need

When living abroad, legal paperwork can quickly turn into an overwhelming challenge. That’s exactly what one of our clients, an American residing in a foreign country, experienced when she realized she needed a certified copy of her Florida background check and an apostille certificate from the Florida Department of State—fast.

Facing tight deadlines and legal requirements in her host country, she contacted us with a plea for assistance. Understanding the urgency, our team acted immediately. We retrieved her certified background check, ensured it met all necessary standards, and expedited the apostille process with the Florida Department of State.

In just a short time, she had the legalized documents in hand, ready to meet her obligations abroad. For her, what once felt like an impossible task became a seamless experience with our help.

At Elite Documents, we’re here to support Americans overseas with swift, reliable solutions for even the most pressing documentation needs. When time and accuracy matter most, we’re the team you can trust.

The timeline was tight. These documents had to reach her home country within ten business days—a task that typically takes weeks or even months. Failure to meet this deadline would have severe consequences: deportation and the potential upheaval of her life and career in her host county of Ecuador.

She needed a solution, and she needed it fast. That’s where we stepped in.

Getting to Work: A Step-by-Step Plan

We knew this wasn’t a situation where we could rely on the usual processes. Government paperwork can be notoriously slow, but we had the experience and connections to fast-track the job.

Step 1: Tracking Down the Certified Background Check

Her first hurdle was getting an official background check from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Normally, this process can take weeks, but we weren’t about to let that stop us.

Within 4 days, we had the document in hand—something that typically takes weeks.

Step 2: Securing the Apostille Certificate​

Next, we had to ensure her background check was authenticated for international use. That meant getting an apostille certificate from the Florida Department of State.

  • Fast-Track Submission: We didn’t rely on mail or online services. Once again, one of our team members physically delivered the document to the apostille office.
  • Speedy Turnaround: By emphasizing the urgency, we were able to get the apostille in just 24-48 hours—an incredible feat given that it often takes weeks.

Step 3: Secure International Delivery via DHL

With the certified documents in hand, we needed to get them to her lawyer in her new home country as quickly and securely as possible.

  • DHL Express Service: We partnered with DHL, a trusted international courier, to ensure fast and reliable delivery. 
  • With Real-Time Tracking: You get a link to  tracked the shipment every step of the way. 
  • Direct Delivery to Her Lawyer: The package was sent directly to her legal representative, who was ready to handle the final submission on her behalf.
  • By coordinating with her lawyer, we ensured the documents were in the right hands, ready to meet her deadline.

The Result: No Travel, No Hassle

Thanks to our quick action and attention to detail, our client avoided having to leave her new home country for a temporary exit and re-entry. The documents were delivered on time, allowing her lawyer to complete her residency renewal without any delays.

In the process, we saved her:

  • Time: She didn’t have to navigate the lengthy document retrieval process herself.
  • Money: Avoiding unnecessary travel saved her significant costs.
  • Stress: She had confidence knowing we were handling every step of the process.

 

Her residency renewal was finalized smoothly, and she could continue her life without interruption.
