Rules for Marriage Certificate
Certified Document
You must submit an original certified copy issued by the Delaware Division of Public Health (Office of Vital Statistics). It must have the original signature of the State Registrar or Deputy Registrar.
Notarization is REQUIRED (Critical Step)
This is Delaware's key requirement. The certified marriage certificate must be notarized by a Delaware Notary Public before you send it to the Secretary of State. The notary must affix their seal and complete their notarial certificate. Rejection Cause: Sending the document without this notarization. The state apostilles the notary's signature, not the State Registrar's signature directly.
Complete Cover Letter
While a specific form is not always mandatory, you must include a detailed cover letter with your request. This letter should include your name, return address, daytime phone number, a list of the documents enclosed, and the country the apostille is for.
Correct Payment
Include the $50.00 per document fee for an Apostille. Payment must be made by check or money order payable to the "Secretary of State." Cash is not accepted.
Pre-Paid Return Shipping
You must include a self-addressed, postage-paid envelope for the return of your documents. Using a trackable service like USPS Priority Mail or FedEx is highly recommended.
