Insurance Requirements
All vehicles registered in the State of Delaware are required to have the minimum
liability insurance coverage of $15,000/$30,000/$10,000. A valid insurance
identification card is required to be in the possession of the driver or carried
in the vehicle and shall be produced upon the request of a police officer or
any other party involved in an accident with the insured.
Violators are subject to a fine of $1,500 for the first offense, $3,000 for subsequent offenses and a six-month suspension of driving privileges.
In addition, the Division of Motor Vehicles audits vehicles for insurance compliance. Failure to maintain proper insurance may result in fines and/or driver's license suspensions. License plates must be surrendered to the Division prior to canceling insurance for any reason on vehicles with active registrations. Tags will be returned at no charge if proper insurance is provided and the registration has not expired.
