License Renewals
Delaware Licenses can be renewed at any Division of Motor Vehicle facility. Renewal reminders are mailed to each driver approximately 60 days before the expiration date (driver's birthday). The renewal fee is $25.00 for a five-year license. A $1.15 late fee is charged if the renewal takes place after the expiration date. You must turn in your previously issued license, fill out an application and pass an eye-screen test. Written and road tests may be given, but they are normally waived. If you keep a motorcycle endorsement the fee is increased by $8.00 ($33.00 Total). You may renew at any time during the 90-day period prior to the expiration of your license.

Driver's License Instruction
The Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), in cooperation with the Social Security Administration (SSA), will use Social Security Number On-Line Verification (SSOLV) to verify Social Security numbers by matching Delaware driver license records with the records of the SSA. If, during this verification process, the SSA reports to us that your name, date of birth and/or social security number does not match with the information in our files, DMV may not renew a driver license.
