SECRETARY'S LETTER

I welcome you to the Delaware Department of State's website. It is my honor to serve Governor Jack Markell and the people of Delaware as Secretary of State. In navigating this site, you will see that our department is a very dynamic and diverse one.

The Department of State is perhaps best known for its Division of Corporations, whose mission is to create business entities and generate revenue for the State of Delaware, while providing unsurpassed service to its customers. The Division has earned well-deserved praise for its professionalism, efficiency, and dedication to quality. In doing so, it has further elevated Delaware’s already prominent position as the Corporate Capital of the World.

In addition, the Department of State provides a variety of important services to the citizens of Delaware that help grow our economy, improve public access to information, preserve our rich culture and history, promote the arts, protect consumers, support the needs of our veterans, and enhance Delaware's overall quality of life. All of this is made possible by the over 750 dedicated professionals in our Department who demonstrate the best of what public servants have to offer.

Thank you for visiting us!
