The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is excited to announce that DMV on the Go is open for the 2025 season.

From now until October 30, 2025, from 10 am – 2 pm, the mobile unit will be in Sussex County three days a week. Every Monday, it will be at the Lewes Transit Center, Tuesdays at the CHEER Center in Milton, and every Thursday, it will be parked at the Harbor Freight Shopping Center (previously the Big Lots Shopping Center) in Seaford.

“We’ve seen Delaware’s population grow significantly within recent years, especially in Sussex County,” shared Delaware Department of Transportation Secretary Shanté Hastings. “The mobility of DMV on the Go allows us to not only expand our services to the underserved areas of Sussex County but also reduce wait times at the Georgetown DMV, which has quickly become one of our busiest locations,” continued Hastings.

“With DMV on the Go’s fourth season officially underway, we’ve already seen an increase in customers in just the first month,” said Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles Director Amy Anthony. “So far, we’ve had 710 transactions in April, further showing how great of an asset this mobile unit is to DMV and especially for our residents living or working in Sussex County,” continued Anthony.

The DMV on the Go is an ADA accessible trailer, features four fully functional workstations and made its debut in April of 2021. It comes complete with an awning for bad weather, a wheelchair lift, and it performs all transactions as a traditional DMV, excluding inspections and road exams. Uninsured motorists or in-person driver improvement assistance still need to visit the Wilmington, Delaware City, Dover, or Georgetown DMV location.

Last year, the DMV on the Go trailer assisted over 3,100 customers by allowing them to renew their registrations, driver licenses, complete title work, and more, right in their neighborhood.

Delaware’s adult-use marijuana program marked a major milestone as Joshua Sanderlin was officially sworn in as the state’s new Marijuana Commissioner today. His appointment signals a new chapter for the Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC), the regulatory agency tasked with implementing and enforcing the Delaware Marijuana Control Act, which took effect on July 5, 2023. OMC’s mission is to oversee the adult-use and medical marijuana industry with a focus on public health, preventing underage use, ensuring equity, and generating tax revenue through a safe and well-regulated market.

Sanderlin brings over 15 years of experience advising businesses, investors, and policymakers on marijuana regulation and public policy. As principal of Sanderlin Strategies, he has worked across multiple jurisdictions to support licensing, compliance, and the development of marijuana programs. Previously, he practiced law at Greenberg Traurig, where he represented clients in regulatory and legislative matters.

“Josh Sanderlin’s depth of regulatory experience and his focus on equity and transparency will be critical as we create a system that protects public health, promotes opportunity, and delivers on the promise of responsible legalization,” said Governor Matt Meyer.

“Commissioner Sanderlin brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this very important role at a crucial time. His leadership will be instrumental in moving the process forward to stand up the State’s recreational market,” said Department of Safety and Homeland Security Secretary Joshua Bushweller.

Sanderlin holds a Juris Doctor from the Catholic University of America, a Master of Public Administration from Florida State University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Jacksonville University. He is widely respected for his commitment to transparency, equity, and good governance in emerging industries.

OMC also recognizes the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Paul Hyland, who has played a key role in advancing the state’s marijuana program during the transitional period. “OMC is excited to welcome Commissioner Sanderlin and to hear his vision for the future of this office,” said Hyland.

“I’m honored to serve as Delaware’s Marijuana Commissioner,” said Sanderlin. “I look forward to working with the dedicated team at OMC and partners across the marijuana industry to build a safe, well-regulated market that delivers real justice and lasting benefits to all Delawareans.”

The Office of the Marijuana Commissioner (OMC) is pleased to share that the FBI has issued OMC a fingerprint service code for selected applicants.

In April 2025, FBI denied the State’s reconsideration request for a fingerprint service code, citing the need for greater specificity in Delaware’s authorizing statute. OMC worked expeditiously with the General Assembly to address the concerns. House Bill 110 was developed and passed to specifically identify the categories of individuals required to undergo fingerprint-based criminal history background checks.

Governor Matt Meyer signed HB110 into law on April 24, 2025. Upon enactment, the State Bureau of Identification (SBI) submitted the revised language to FBI for review.

The FBI has partially approved the revised language, with one exception to the term “agent” as being overly broad. OMC will work with the General Assembly to make that technical correction.

OMC will contact selected applicants this week with next steps.

“Fingerprint-based background checks are a vital part of ensuring public safety and maintaining the integrity of the program,” said Paul Hyland, Acting Marijuana Commissioner. “We appreciate the FBI’s collaboration and are excited that selected applicants can continue moving forward.”

OMC will provide updates as implementation progresses.

Secretary of Transportation Shanté Hastings was joined by Representative Lyndon Yearick, Delaware State Police Lieutenants India Sturgis, Mark Dawson, and several DelDOT employees at the East Camden Bypass project in observation of National Work Zone Awareness Week.

National Work Zone Awareness Week is held each April at the traditional start of construction season when the number of workers on our nation’s roadways increases. The theme of this year’s work zone awareness campaign is, “Respect the zone, so we all get home.” The campaign features DelDOT workers who put their lives on the line daily while working within active traffic maintaining Delaware roads.

“Over the past three years, 65 DelDOT employees have been injured in work zone crashes and of those 65, 13 were seriously injured,” stated Secretary Hastings. “When you see the signs, when you see the flashing lights, when you see the barrels and cones, slow down, eliminate distractions, stay alert, and be extra cautious. By doing these things, motorists can help reduce work zone crashes on our roadways. Please keep our employees safe so they can go home to their families, too,” continued Secretary Hastings.

Although highway workers are often among the victims of such crashes, drivers must understand that four out of five victims of work zone crashes are drivers or their passengers. Generally, crashes occur when drivers speed through a work zone or do not pay attention to the changing road conditions and run into other vehicles, highway equipment, or safety barriers, or drive off the roadway completely. In a typical five-day work week, an average of seven motorists and one worker are killed nationwide. The primary causes of work zone crashes are following too closely and inattentive driving.

The National Work Zone Awareness Week began in 1999, when the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Traffic Safety Services Association (ATSSA), and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) signed a Memorandum of Agreement pledging to increase public awareness of work zone safety issues through a national media campaign. Since then, awareness has continued to grow, with state agencies and other organizations sponsoring high-visibility education and outreach initiatives.

Some simple tips for improving work zone safety include:
* When you see the “orange and black,” be extra cautious.
* Warning signs will let you know what to expect.
* Barrels or cones will delineate your path of travel.
* Flag persons will help direct you along the way.
* Avoid distractions.
* Don’t tailgate.
* Don’t change lanes.
* Slow down and expect the unexpected.
* Reduce speed when approaching toll booths.

The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is excited to announce that customers can now utilize its online services system to retain their tag when they sell their vehicle out of state.

Registered owners interested in retaining their unexpired tag after selling their vehicle out-of-state can now be accomplished online by visiting dmv.de.gov and then selecting online services. Once the form is completed, the license plate will move into retention provided the tag is not expired.

“Ultimately, the goal is to better serve Delaware residents with quick and efficient service,” shared DelDOT Secretary Shanté Hastings. “We process approximately 8,600 sold-out-of-state transactions yearly. By moving the process online, we save our customers nearly 9,000 trips to the DMV. It helps streamline the process as well as reduces the number of people waiting in our lobbies,” continued Hastings.

“We enjoy assisting our customers at the DMV, but understand their time constraints and the convenience being able to process transactions online brings to their lives,” shared DMV Director Amy Anthony. “By automating this process and adding the option to our online services repertoire, we give over 700 customers a month more time in their day to do something other than wait at the DMV,” continued Anthony.
