Rules for Divorce Decree
Certified by the Prothonotary
The document must be a certified copy issued and signed by the Prothonotary (or Deputy/Assistant Prothonotary) from the county's Office of the Prothonotary where the divorce was granted. This is the Delaware equivalent of a County Clerk for civil matters. The signature must be original.
Signature Must Be On File
The Delaware Secretary of State maintains a signature card for the Prothonotary. They will verify the signature on your document against their records. If it is not on file or does not match, your request will be rejected.
Complete the Cover Sheet
You must include a fully completed "Apostille / Certification Request Form" (cover sheet) with your submission. This form provides your contact information and return instructions.
Include Correct Payment
The fee is $50.00 per apostille/certification. This is a flat fee that includes the state's charge and the cost of return shipping via regular mail. Payment must be by check or money order payable to the "Secretary of State." Cash is not accepted.
