A: After changing your Delaware address, you have thirty (30) days to notify both the Vehicle Registration and Driver's License Sections of the Division of Motor Vehicles. Write to the Division of Motor Vehicles, Driver License Section, P.O. Box 698, Dover, Delaware 19903. Give us the number of your driver's license, your name as it appears on the license and your new address. We will change our records. To change your license document, you must come into any of our facilities and we will replace your license at no cost. (See the Vehicle Equipment, Titles, Registration and Insurance Section for changing the address on your vehicle registration.)
 

A: Within 30 days after legally changing your name, you must personally go to an office of the Division to change the name on your license. Bring in your old driver's license and the marriage certificate or court document as evidence of the name change. The Division will issue you a new license for $1.15.

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. For this reason, your name change must be processed with the SSA prior to changing the name on your Delaware driver license. After you change the information with the SSA, please allow 72 hours before visiting DMV. The SSA needs this time to fully update its database. If during the verification process, the SSA reports to us that your name, date of birth and/or social security number does not match with the information on the document as evidence of a name change, DMV may not process the name change on your driver license or identification card.
 

A: 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.
 

A: If your license is lost, stolen or destroyed, you may apply to the Division for a duplicate license which will be issued for a fee of $10.00. You must bring in three (3) identification documents of which one must have your signature on it. (See Required Document Table.)
