Delaware enacted the Delaware Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act, codified at 10 Del. C. § 4311, effective July 12, 2010. The act applies to all UIDDA domestication requests and governs the issuance of Delaware subpoenas for out-of-state cases through the Superior Court's Prothonotary.
The process requires filing with the Prothonotary of the Delaware Superior Court in the county where discovery is sought — either New Castle County (Wilmington), Kent County (Dover), or Sussex County (Georgetown). The filing packet consists of a cover letter, the original and one copy of the foreign subpoena, and a completed Delaware subpoena form. The $75 filing fee is paid to the Prothonotary. No e-filing system exists for UIDDA in Delaware — all submissions must be made in person or by mail.
Once issued, the Delaware subpoena must be served in compliance with Title 10 and applicable Superior Court Civil Rules, including Rule 45. No local Delaware counsel is required and filing does not constitute an appearance per 10 Del. C. § 4311(c).
From intake to affidavit — Delaware's UIDDA process under 10 Del. C. § 4311, with physical Prothonotary filing in the correct county.

We prepare the Delaware subpoena form per 10 Del. C. § 4311(c), incorporating all terms used in the foreign subpoena and including the required contact information for all counsel of record and unrepresented parties. The Delaware subpoena mirrors the foreign subpoena's requirements while conforming to Delaware court standards.
We prepare the required cover letter to the Prothonotary specifying where the signed and sealed Delaware subpoena should be returned upon issuance — including a contact name, phone number, and email address. This cover letter is required by Delaware's Prothonotary offices and is included with every order.
We physically file (by mail or in-person) the cover letter, the original foreign subpoena, one copy of the foreign subpoena, and the completed Delaware subpoena form with the Prothonotary of the correct Delaware Superior Court county, along with the $75 filing fee. Per 10 Del. C. § 4311(c), this filing does not constitute an appearance in Delaware courts.
The Prothonotary reviews and issues the signed and sealed Delaware subpoena. We retrieve it and provide you a copy immediately upon issuance. The issued Delaware subpoena is enforceable as a Delaware court subpoena and carries the full authority of the Superior Court.
We coordinate service of the issued Delaware subpoena in compliance with Title 10 and applicable Delaware Superior Court Civil Rules, including Rule 45. Service is made upon the named recipient within the correct county. Delaware Rule 45 governs the method, timing, and content requirements for valid service.
