The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the state agency in charge of providing driving records to individuals and companies. Their policies are strictly driven by state and federal Driver Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) laws that protect certain information from exposure through public records.
The Delaware DMV offers three types of records: a 3-year record, a 5-year record, and a complete history of your driving record since you received your license. Anyone wishing to allow someone else such as an employer to get a copy of their driving record must fill out a Personal Information Release Form.
Individuals can request a copy of their own records, and others may request a copy of someone's driving record but only with an approved reason. The complete driving history will have the most information, including civil driving infractions, criminal charges, DUIs, parking tickets, citations, along with personal information such as the person's name, driver's license number, social security number, birth date, and possibly medical information for CDL reasons.
The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles handles all driving record requests and makes it very easy to get copies. For individuals, they can order online through the MyDMV system. When doing so, they must have a registered account. It is free to register. To register, the person needs a valid state ID or driver's license, their date of birth, and social security number.
Someone other than the individual can order a copy, but the subject must fill out a "Personal Information Release Form," and it must be submitted with the request. Requestors can choose from a three or 5-year report or a full history. The Personal Information Release Form must be notarized.
If ordering by mail, the requestor must include a stamped, self-addressed envelope and mail it with the paperwork and $25 fee to:
Division of Motor Vehicles
ATTN.: Driver License Administration
PO Box 698
Dover, DE 19903
CDL requests must be made in writing (through the mail) or in-person; they cannot be processed online.
The cost for a 3-year, 5-year, or full history driving record is $25. The price remains the same whether the requestor orders it online, through the mail, or in person. If the Personal Information Request Form is also needed, there may be fees related to notarizing it.
Anyone wanting a driver's license in Delaware must be at least 16 years old and complete a certified Delaware Driver Education Course. They can then apply for a Level One Permit. They must hold it for at least six months and log 50 supervised driving hours before applying for their driver's license.
In an attempt to reduce the number of crashes, the DMV has created a Driver Improvement Problem Driver Program, which is basically a driver's license points program. When someone reaches a specific number of points (12 or more), the driver will lose their driving privileges for a number of months.
Some of the point violations in Delaware include:
In some cases, the driver can get a 3-point credit by taking a defensive driving course and paying the fine. However, these three points will still show up for insurance reports and employment. They will only count against any future violations. This only applies to regular drivers; CDL/commercial drivers will keep the points.
The state of Delaware has a few different types of driver reports available. The most common are listed below:
The 3-year driver report will include all civil and criminal infractions, DUIs, points, license status, any license suspensions, and all other motor vehicle records (mvr) related to the individual's driver's license number over the past three years. Insurance providers may ask for a copy of this when evaluating you for automobile insurance. Employers may need one for a background check before offering you a position.
The 5-year report will mirror the 3-year report, except that it will go back further and cover the past five years.
The full driving history report will include everything from the first date you received a driver's license. Depending on who is requesting the report, it may or may not contain personally identifiable information such as a social security number (SSN), driver's license number, home address, and medical details.
The state of Delaware breaks offenses into two categories non-incarcerable offenses and incarcerable, meaning the offense can land someone in jail or prison. Criminal driving offenses are subject to jail time. Some examples of serious offenses in Delaware that will end up with steep fines and jail or prison time are:
Delaware takes reckless driving very seriously, and the first offense will earn someone $100-$300 in fines and 30 days in jail. Any subsequent offense will result in a $300-$1,000 fine and 30-60 days in jail. Plus, six points will be added to the driver's license. A DUI may be downgraded to "Wet Reckless" in some instances.
Another big driving issue in Delaware is "Careless or Inattentive Driving," which carries the penalty of $25-$75 in fines. A repeat offense will cost the person $50-$95 in fines and two points on their license.
Civil driving offenses are less serious but still carry punishments. Sometimes the officer may only cite the person; other times, they will receive a ticket and have to either appear in court or mail in the fine. The Delaware Courts make it very easy to pay a civil driving offense ticket by mail, in person, online, by fax, phone, or using a kiosk. Some examples of civil driving offenses are:
According to the Delaware State Police, there are roughly 714,426 licensed drivers in the state. There are 928,223 registered motor vehicles. Some other statistics are:
Below are some frequently asked questions about state driving records.
You can easily get a copy of your driving record by using the online system called MyDMV (dmv.de.gov). You can also order by mail using the form provided online. Anyone can visit a local DMV office to get a copy of the 3-year, 5-year, or full history motor vehicle report as well.
A MyDMV account is a registered account with the Delaware DMV that allows someone to log in and see their own reports, change their address easily, change emergency contacts, update their vehicle registration, and more as new services are added.
You will need your full name, address, social security number, driver's license number, and birthdate. You may have to show a copy of your birth certificate to verify your identity. You also need a valid email address when signing up for a MyDMV account.
Yes, you can do so easily by printing out the Personal Information Release Form and filling out certain sections, paying the fee by check or money order, and sending it in to:
Division of Motor Vehicles
ATTN.: Driver License Administration
PO Box 698
Dover, DE 19903
You can easily get a copy of your own report (any of the three types) at any time. An employer, private investigator, researcher, insurance companies, law enforcement, and others may get a copy with your written permission. According to DPPA laws, others like a government agency may get a copy with a valid reason that qualifies under the law. Some people may get copies with personally identifiable information on them, and others may not, depending on the situation.
