What this office can apostille
Generally, documents issued by a Delaware public official (such as certified copies of vital records, court records, or state certificates) and documents notarized by a Delaware notary. Documents from other states go to that state. Federal documents go to the U.S. Department of State.
Notes we confirmed on the official page
- Delaware will not apostille documents that were notarized remotely or electronically.
- Foreign-language documents need a notarized English translation.
- Federal and out-of-state documents are not handled here.
Before you send anything
- Confirm the destination country and whether it uses apostilles.
- Get a recent certified copy from the office that holds the record. Photocopies are generally refused.
- Follow the official page for the request form, payment method, and return shipping.
