“Processing” generally means the order is being prepared, reviewed, or otherwise handled and has not yet reached a later completed stage. It does not necessarily mean the state has received the filing.

Processing time should be described as an estimate rather than a guaranteed completion date. Swyft Filings can control how quickly its team prepares and submits an eligible order, but the final review and approval timeline is controlled by the government agency. Expedited processing, when available, may shorten the agency timeline, but availability and fees vary by jurisdiction and filing type.
