Part 2:

Once this information is received, the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) will confirm whether or not the foreign institution has degree-granting authority from Delaware. If the foreign institution does have degree-granting authority from Delaware, the DDOE will issue a letter confirming the foreign institution has authorization to confer degrees and the Delaware Department of State - Division of Corporations will contact the student with additional requirements for obtaining an Apostille of this letter. If the foreign institution does not have degree-granting authority from Delaware, the student will be informed that no Apostille can be provided.

Important Information

Be sure to read the following in its entirety.

Please note that the State of Delaware will not affix an Apostille to any document that is not signed by a Delaware Public Official. Therefore, do not send any educational documents (such as transcripts, diplomas, certificates of graduation, etc.) to the DDOE or the Delaware Department of State. Apostilles will not be issued for educational documents.

If you are seeking an Apostille to be affixed to an educational document (such as a transcript, diploma, certificate of graduation, etc.), you must contact the foreign institution that issued the document to inquire as to how to obtain an Apostille in the country where the institution is located.

If you have any questions, you may contact the Delaware Department of State at 302-739-3073 or visit the Delaware Division of Corporations website.


Upon submission of this form, the Delaware Higher Education Office (DHEO) will review the information provided. If the complaint is against an institution that the DHEO is authorized to review, the student will be emailed an official Student Complaint Form to complete.
