How to Renew Your Vehicle Registration in Delaware

The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles notifies vehicle owners of the expiration date of their vehicle registration by mail about 90 days in advance. Vehicle registrations can be renewed 90 days before the expiration date either through mail or in person. For vehicles more than five years old, a vehicle inspection has to be passed before renewal. If a vehicle fails the test, a retest can be done after repair.

REGISTRATION RENEWAL BY U.S. MAIL

Send the completed registration renewal form, the current insurance information and odometer reading along with the appropriate payment to:
```
State of Delaware
Department of Motor Vehicles
P.O. Box 698
Dover, DE 19903    
```

REGISTRATION RENEWAL IN PERSON

Locate the DMV office in your area.
Bring the registration renewal form along with the required fees for the renewal.
The current insurance information and odometer reading need to be provided at the time of renewal.

FEES

Registration for different categories of vehicles in Delaware will have different fees that range from $15 to upwards of $40 depending on the size and weight of the vehicle, as seen here, or can be calculated using the Fee Calculator.

FOR CORRECTIONS

Before renewal, check for errors in the pre-printed vehicle renewal notice that arrived in the mail.
For correction or change of address, visit the local DMV office or fill the DMV Change of Address form and mail it to:
```
Division of Motor Vehicles
Attn: Change of Address
P O Box 698
Dover, DE 19903    
```
For a legal change in name, the DMV has to be notified within one month in the outlined procedure.
