All winners will receive a standard blue and gold license plate upon completing their title work. If their tag number qualifies and they wish to purchase a black and white or stainless-steel tag once they have completed their title work with DMV, they can do so through the Delaware Historic Plate Company. To order a qualifying black & white porcelain or stainless-steel tag, go to dhptags.com.

Both online and in-person winners will receive an e-mail once their tag is ready for pick up at the location they selected.

DISCLAIMER: Only one registration per driver license/identification card is permitted. If more than one entry is received for an individual or entity, all additional requests will be denied.
If an individual or entity wins a low-digit tag during an in-person giveaway, their online entry will be voided. If an individual or entity wins a low-digit tag before attending an in-person event, they will not be permitted to win in person.

The name and driver license/identification card number used to enter the lottery must match the name and driver license/identification card that will be presented to the DMV associate at the time of the transaction. If there is a discrepancy the request will be denied.

The winner must apply the new tag to their vehicle no later than February 28, 2025. There will be no extensions.

Tags must be applied to a vehicle; DMV will not permit placing the tag on hold. The owner is responsible for all applicable fees.

Specialty tags, background tags, stainless steel tags, and porcelain tags can be purchased for an additional fee.

DMV reserves the right to modify the tag number due to unforeseen circumstances.

The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is excited to unveil the latest edition to their online services at dmv.de.gov, Della the Chatbot.

Della began assisting customers on the website in early June 2024. DMV partnered with Google Cloud and SID Global Solutions Digital in the development of the AI-powered chatbot that will provide customers with human-like contact and improve the overall experience for those in need of online services.

“Google Cloud is dedicated to supporting government agencies in their digital transformation efforts. We believe that AI has the potential to significantly enhance citizen services while democratizing AI for the public, and we are excited to see how Dell will streamline interactions with DMV,” said Amina Al Sherif, Generative AI Lead, Google Government.

Sudi Navile, CEO of SID Global Solutions Digital said, “SIDGS is committed to helping state agencies leverage technology to better serve their constituents. We are proud to have partnered with Google Cloud and DMV to bring Della to life, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on Delawareans.”

“Everything we execute on a daily basis is dictated by state or federal law, code, regulations or policy,” said Secretary of Transportation Nicole Majeski. “As you can imagine, the amount of data is extensive and can be overwhelming to navigate. That is where Della comes in. She exists to scour our website for the answer to your question, so you do not have to,” concluded Majeski.

“Think of Della as your DMV.de.gov personal assistant,” shared Director of DMV Amy Anthony. “Her goal is to help answer your questions, locate the information you need in a timely fashion, and make using DMV.de.gov easier for our customers. We are so excited to welcome Della to the DMV family,” continued Anthony.

DMV.de.gov gets 607,440 views per month. The myDMV page is the most visited on the website with 181,143 views per month. The next time you visit dmv.de.gov consider allowing Della to assist you. As with all AI, the more Della assists the better her performance.

Governor John Carney has proclaimed May as Motorcycle Awareness Month and the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) along with the Delaware Office of Highway Safety (OHS) are reminding motorcyclists and drivers to ride smart and ride safe.

Drivers, do your part and give motorcyclists extra room to stop and maneuver. Always look out for motorcyclists when turning, changing lanes, and at intersections.

Motorcyclists, make yourselves visible by always using your headlights. Wear protective clothing and dress for a crash, not just the ride, and never travel in a vehicle’s blindsight.

Looking to perfect your riding skills? Every year from March through November, DMV offers six motorcycle safety courses for various skill levels, including an instructor-level course for those interested in becoming a certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) RiderCoach.

Course benefits include professional training and up to 15% off your motorcycle liability insurance. Plus, upon course completion graduates are exempt from taking DMV motorcycle endorsement knowledge and road testing for up to six months.

“Most fatal motorcycle crashes involve a vehicle,” shared Secretary of Transportation Nicole Majeski. “Making our roads safer for all who travel them involves everyone doing their part. Drivers need to understand motorcycles are smaller and more difficult to see and motorcyclists need to do everything they can to make their presence known. Together we can reduce the number of fatalities and serious crashes on our roadways,” continued Majeski.

“During Motorcycle Awareness Month and throughout the year, DMV gives residents the opportunity to become better riders through our DMV Motorcycle Safety Courses,” said Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles Director Amy Anthony. “Riders of all skill levels can take advantage of the combination of formal classroom and on-cycle training to perfect their skills, gain confidence, and ultimately become safer riders,” said Anthony.

For a list of available courses or enrollment details, visit dmv.de.gov/motorcycles, call 302-744-2658, email motorcyclecourse@delaware.gov, or contact the below for more information.

Last year, 15 motorcyclists were killed on Delaware roadways. As of Friday, May 3, 2024, five motorcyclists have been killed. Always use caution while operating a vehicle or motorcycle. Look twice at intersections, don’t tailgate, and eliminate distractions.
