What is the average turnaround time to get my document filed with the California Secretary of State?
A. The average turnaround time for California is 7-10 business days. This time can vary greatly throughout the year. There are times business corporate type filings are returned back within a couple business days and there are times when it can take longer than 10 business days. The time of year will impact the turnaround time, such as at the end of/beginning of the year, where the Secretary of State is inundated with filings to be accepted by a certain date. Other slow down interruptions include holidays, budgetary/staff changes to departments, and political meetings etc. We cannot guarantee turnaround times, but can keep track every day as to how long it is taking requests to be completed with our experienced staff. Please inquire with our staff for all other worldwide jurisdictions.
