Delaware-issued certificates and personal papers, authenticated for use abroad. We are minutes from the Vital Statistics counter that issues them and the Division that authenticates them.
A Delaware birth certificate is issued by the Office of Vital Statistics at 417 Federal Street in Dover, a few hundred yards from the office that will apostille it. A certified copy costs $25 from the state and the current published processing time is two to five weeks.
You have two options. Bring us a certified copy you already hold and we apostille it at the standard rate. Or we retrieve it for you at $185, which covers the state certificate fee, the retrieval and the apostille. Choose the second only if you are not against a deadline, because the wait is the state’s, not ours.
Bring your birth, marriage or death certificate, power of attorney or single status affidavit to the Dover office. We are three miles from the counter.
