Turnaround options
Delaware sells speed. Beyond standard processing, the Division offers 24-hour and same-day service on certificates and copies, plus Priority 2 (2-hour) service at $500 and Priority 1 (1-hour) service at $1,000 per document or request. Tell us your deadline and we order the speed that meets it.
What you pay
$160 per filing, plus the Division’s fees for the document and any expedite. For example, a short-form certificate of good standing with 24-hour service is $160 + $50 + $40 = $250. Need it apostilled for use abroad? Add the apostille: $120 with us, plus Delaware’s $30.

Delivered
To you, or on to the apostille and legalization if it’s going abroad.
The Division of Corporations also lets anyone validate a Delaware certificate online, so your bank or counterparty can check it.
Avoid these mistakes
- A name that doesn’t match the registry. Give the company’s exact registered name, punctuation included, or its file number.
- Asking for a long form for a foreign entity. The long form is for domestic Delaware entities; foreign entities get the short form.
- Ordering the certificate and the apostille separately. Ordering both together saves a round trip.
- Letting a certificate go stale. Banks and registries often want a recent one, so order close to the date you need it.
