Apostille in Delaware, handled end to end.
An apostille authenticates the seal and signature on a Delaware document so it's accepted abroad under the Hague Apostille Convention. In Delaware, apostilles are issued by the Delaware Division of Corporations — the same Department of State office that handles the state's business filings, in Dover.
Delaware is the corporate capital of the United States, so most Delaware apostilles are corporate: Certificates of Good Standing, certified copies of formation documents, and other records for companies registered in the state. Because the certificate and the apostille come from the same office, both can often be completed in a single, same-day transaction — a real advantage over other states.
We prepare, submit, and track your Delaware apostille from start to finish — obtaining the underlying corporate certificate or personal record, then apostilling it — in person at our two San Diego offices or by secure, tracked mail from anywhere.
One partner for every Delaware document
State or federal, we route each document to the right authority the first time — and handle the county certification, notarization, or translation it needs along the way.
Delaware requirements
What Delaware documents need first.
Every document type has its own rule in Delaware. Getting it right the first time is what avoids a rejection and a second wait.
Corporate records & Certificates of Good Standing
Delaware's specialty. We order your Certificate of Good Standing or a certified copy of your formation documents from the Division of Corporations, then apostille it — all through the same office, often the same day. Because the certificate is issued by the Secretary of State, no notarization is needed.
A Delaware notary — no remote or electronic notarization
A notarized power of attorney or affidavit must be signed before a commissioned Delaware notary. Delaware will not apostille documents notarized remotely (online) or electronically, and it won't apostille a document notarized in another state. We arrange proper in-state notarization for you.
Vital records must be state-certified
A Delaware birth, death, or marriage certificate must be a certified copy issued by the Delaware Office of Vital Statistics and signed by a Delaware state official — a hospital certificate or plain photocopy can't be apostilled. We obtain a fresh certified copy when you no longer have one.

Delaware apostille questions, answered.
How much does a Delaware apostille cost?+
It depends on the document, whether you also need a Certificate of Good Standing, and how fast you need it. You get a flat, all-in quote before any work begins — with no hidden fees, and no obligation.
How do I apostille a Delaware Certificate of Good Standing?+
Because Delaware's Division of Corporations both issues the Certificate of Good Standing and apostilles it, the whole thing runs through one office — often the same day. We order the certificate (or a certified copy of your formation documents) and apostille it for you, with no notarization required.
How long does a Delaware apostille take?+
Delaware is fast: mailed requests are often processed the same business day, and in person in Dover a request is typically completed within a couple of hours. Same-day and rush options are available. We route yours the fastest way for your deadline.
Can I use a document notarized online for a Delaware apostille?+
No. Delaware will not apostille a document notarized remotely (online) or electronically, and it won't accept a document notarized in another state. It must be signed before a commissioned Delaware notary — which we arrange for you.
Is my FBI background check apostilled in Delaware?+
No. FBI background checks are federal, so they're apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC — not by Delaware — even for Delaware companies and residents. We handle that federal route in the same order.
Can I get a Delaware apostille without traveling to Dover?+
Yes. We handle the entire Delaware process by secure, tracked mail — Wilmington, Dover, Newark, and statewide — and you're welcome at either of our two San Diego walk-in offices. You never have to travel to Dover.
