What Is a Delaware Apostille?
A Delaware apostille is a certificate issued by the Delaware Secretary of State that confirms the signature, official capacity, and seal on a Delaware public document. Countries that belong to the Hague Apostille Convention accept the document without further embassy legalization. An apostille is valid only for use outside the United States.
