The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has sent out postcards this week to owners of alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) advising them of the implementation of the new AFV registration fee beginning October 1, 2025. Owners will receive their AFV registration fee invoice via USPS and/or email with payment due by November 1, 2025.

The new annual AFV registration fee is assessed in accordance with 21 Del. C. §2151A. This fee ensures that all vehicle owners contribute to the cost of road maintenance, regardless of their vehicle’s fuel type. Delaware joins many other states in assessing an AFV registration fee in addition to the standard annual vehicle registration fees.

The fee list of new AFV registration fees can be found at 2025 Fee and Toll Increases.

For questions or for further assistance, customers can email DMVCustomerService@delaware.gov or call 302-744-2500. To receive future DMV AFV registration fee information and invoices delivered securely via email, customers can register for eNotifications at Vehicle Registration eNotification Sign Up – Division of Motor Vehicles
