Why Delaware documents get stuck or sent back

An apostille can only come from the state that issued the record, or the state where the notary was commissioned. These are the problems we fix most often for Delaware documents.

Notarized online, and Delaware said no

The Delaware Division of Corporations does not accept documents notarized remotely or electronically for an apostille. A document signed on a video call usually has to be signed again in person.

A Delaware company, run from California

Your company was formed in Delaware, but you operate in the Bay Area. Its certified filings still need a Delaware apostille for use abroad.

Several documents, one deadline

Adoption and dual-citizenship packets often include several Delaware records. Sending them separately costs time.

Sacramento returned it

California only apostilles California records, so your Delaware document came back unprocessed.
