Special handling fees are being waived and all documents will be returned by mail. The 72-hour rule is suspended for rejected filings. All documents dropped off will be deemed received at 5:00 pm on the date dropped off and processed on a first in, first out basis followed by drop-off and mail apostilles, conversions and mergers.
