Documents Delaware can apostille

Documents signed by a Delaware notary
Documents signed by a Delaware public official
Official copies of publicly recorded documents from the issuing Delaware state or county official
Documents filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (each certified separately)

The issuing state is what matters, not where you live now. A document issued or notarized in another state goes to that state's office, and documents from federal agencies go to the U.S. Department of State through our federal apostille service.

Common questions

How much does a Delaware apostille cost through Trilogy?

Our Delaware apostille service starts at $375 per document. That price includes the Delaware government fee of $30 per document, plus courier filing, return shipping, and handling. Sales tax, if it applies, and any deposit are shown at checkout before you pay.

Who issues apostilles in Delaware?

The Delaware Department of State, Division of Corporations. Trilogy Notary Services is a private document services company: we prepare and submit your request and track it, but the apostille itself is issued by the state office.

What does Delaware require before it will apostille a document?

Notarized documents must be notarized in person; the Division will not apostille documents notarized remotely or electronically. Publicly recorded documents must be official copies issued by the Delaware state or county official; these are never notarized. We check for these before anything is filed.

Can Delaware apostille an FBI background check or another federal document?

No. Documents issued and signed by a federal agency, such as an FBI background check, are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not by the Delaware Department of State. We handle those through our federal apostille service.

What if my destination country is not in the Hague Apostille Convention?

For non-Hague countries, Delaware issues this instead of a standard apostille: Authentication. Many non-Hague countries then require embassy or consulate legalization, which we handle through our embassy legalization service. Tell us the destination country when you book.

How long does a Delaware apostille take?

As published by the state when we checked on October 29, 2026: Mail requests are typically processed the same business day; in-person personal-use documents are typically processed the same business day. Add time for document preparation and shipping both ways. Government processing times change and are outside our control, so we don't promise a delivery date.
