Delaware Apostille Services

Delaware Apostille Process

Obtaining a Delaware state apostille is a defined process by the Hague Convention, as well as the destination country’s requirements. At EZ Apostille, we act as your agent to handle the entire workflow with precision and care, from document preparation to apostille retrieval and delivery.

Document Preparation and Eligibility Review

We carefully confirm that your paper was either issued by an authorized state official, like the State Registrar of the Office of Vital Statistics, or notarized by a current Delaware notary public. This eligibility review ensures the Secretary of State (SOS) can validate the signatures and seals on your paperwork. Our team also manages any necessary pre-certifications before the document can be presented to the state, making a seamless submission and accelerating the timeline.

Apostille for Hague Convention Countries

The Delaware Secretary of State’s office issues an apostille certificate if your document is destined for a member country of the Hague Convention. Once this certification is attached, you no longer have to go through the legalization process to make your document valid in participating nations.

Authentication for Non-Hague Countries

If your paperwork is intended for a destination country that isn’t part of the Convention, an authentication certificate is affixed instead. However, this state-level verification from Delaware won’t be the final step. It’s only the first link in a chain. The document must be forwarded to the DOS for federal certification and the respective country’s embassy for final legalization. Our service also covers this more complex chain for guaranteed document acceptance abroad.
