The Massachusetts-Delaware split
Mistakes that get Delaware apostilles rejected
- Sending a Massachusetts-notarized document to Delaware. Delaware only authenticates Delaware notaries and officials. Documents notarized here go to the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.
- Remote or electronic notarizations. Delaware has said it won't accept documents notarized remotely or electronically for apostille.
- One-cover certifications. Delaware says documents certified under a single cover certification aren't acceptable for an apostille. Order each document certified for apostille.
- Foreign-language documents without a translation. Delaware asks for an English translation of documents in another language.
- Unpaid franchise tax. Delaware won't issue a certificate of good standing for an entity that isn't in good standing.
- Ordering too early. Many foreign offices want certificates issued within a few months of filing.
Timing
Standard processing
Delaware's standard turnaround varies with volume. For most corporate deadlines, we use Delaware's expedited service levels.
Expedited options
Delaware offers 24-hour, same-day and faster expedited tiers for certificates and apostilles, for additional state fees.
Massachusetts documents
Officer documents notarized here are typically apostilled within 1–2 business days.
Non-Hague countries

Frequently asked questions
Does Delaware apostille articles of incorporation?
Yes, as certified copies issued by the Division of Corporations.
Long form or short form good standing?
It depends on the recipient. Some want the long form showing the entity's filing history. Check their list, and we'll order the right one.
Can you combine Delaware and Massachusetts documents?
Yes. That's exactly what we do for most corporate clients.
What about non-Hague countries?
Delaware issues a certification, then the document goes to the U.S. Department of State and the embassy. We handle the full chain.
Can Delaware apostille a document notarized in Massachusetts?
No. Delaware only authenticates documents notarized by Delaware notaries or signed by Delaware officials. Documents notarized here are apostilled by Massachusetts.
