Delaware Department of Insurance Opens Sussex County Location

Dover, DE (January 23, 2018)  – The Delaware Department of Insurance can now offer consumers in Sussex County the ability to meet with Department staff in Georgetown.  Friday, January 19th 2018, Commissioner Trinidad Navarro officially opened the office located at 28 The Circle, Georgetown.

“The Department of Insurance has offices in Kent and New Castle County. Sussex County Residents had to travel an hour or more to have their insurance issues addressed.  Now, within approximately 30 minutes or less they can be helped in our Georgetown office” Commissioner Trinidad Navarro said.

House Bill 77 addressed the issue of citizen accessibility to be able to speak with Department personnel locally by opening a Department of Insurance office in Sussex County. It allows greater accessibility to service the needs of one of the State’s fastest growing populations.

“Almost 2/3rds of walk-in visitors to our Kent County office are from Sussex County, and the majority of them are seniors.  I’m excited that we are now able to help them closer to their home” the Commissioner added.

Speaker Schwartzkopf and Representatives Bryon Short and Ruth Briggs King, and Senators Brian Bushweller and Brian Pettyjohn sponsored HB 77.

The commissioner also said “I’m thankful for Speaker Schwartzkopf and Representatives Bryon Short and Ruth Briggs King, and Senators Brian Bushweller and Brian Pettyjohn for sponsoring the bill and seeing it through.  We will be able help many more residents in Sussex County than we have in the past.”

The Sussex County office of the Department of Insurance is located on the Circle in Georgetown and will be open Monday – Friday from 8am – 4:30pm.  The address is 28 the Circle Suite 1, Georgetown, DE 19947 and the phone number is 302-259-7554.
