The Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will now process all first-time Trust requests by appointment only, to allow for a thorough review of all documents before the scheduled visit.

Customers seeking to place their Delaware-titled vehicle in the name of a Trust may visit dmv.de.gov/onlineservices/trust-appointments to schedule an appointment at their preferred DMV location. To make the process easier please make sure to have all the below information prior to scheduling:

• Mailing address
• Phone number
• Name(s) on trust
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for all vehicles
• Make, model & year of all vehicles
• State in which vehicle(s) is currently titled
• Original trust and/or amendments

“At DMV we’re always looking for ways to reduce wait times. Trust requests take more time to process compared to a typical Delaware title transfer,” said Secretary of Transportation Nicole Majeski. “By moving to an appointment-based system we can move these more complex transactions out of the general cue and do most of the work behind the scenes. The result is a more streamlined process that benefits our staff and customers,” continued Majeski.

“We want to make things as easy for our customers as possible. With the new Trust process, our team will review all necessary documentation in advance of the customer’s arrival. Any missing documents, any necessary changes that need to be made can be done beforehand reducing the time you’ll need to spend at DMV and eliminating the need for multiple visits,” said Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles Director Jana Simpler.

The necessary documentation for first-time trust requests will vary depending on the language written in the trust and the state where the vehicle is currently titled. For the most common scenarios and documents required or to schedule an appointment visit dmv.de.gov/onlineservices/trust-appointments or call 302-744-2500.

Effective Monday, August 29, 2022, customers wanting a Medical Tint Waiver will no longer start the application process by picking up a secure paper application in person at a Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) location. Instead, they will begin by filling out the online Medical Tint Waiver Application at dmv.de.gov. DMV will continue to process all Medical Tint Waivers previously provided to customers on secure paper through October 31, 2022.

To begin the application process, first-time applicants will go to dmv.de.gov – Online Services – then click on Medical Tint Waiver Application and enter the required information. Then, print the completed application and take it to their physician to sign and approve. Finally, the applicant will present all pages in person at a DMV location for review and final approval. When applying for a Medical Tint Waiver for the first time, customers can include up to four vehicles if they are registered in their name. Residents with a current Medical Tint Wavier will use the same online application to request additional waivers, up to four vehicles per application, if DMV can confirm there is a valid Medical Tint Waiver on file. For instance, if someone with an existing tint waiver purchases a new vehicle, they can now add it to their current waiver without having to get a whole new form signed by their physician.

“We understand your time is valuable,” said Director of the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles Jana Simpler. “Moving the Medical Tint Waiver Application online, allows us to streamline the process and reduce the number of DMV visits necessary to apply for a Medical Tint Waiver. Also, allowing a person to add up to four vehicles per application, greatly eliminates the need to make multiple trips to your doctor’s office for signatures. The new process will not only save our customers time but money as well.”

Before starting an online application, please make sure:

• The title and registration of the vehicle(s) are in your name
• You have the registration card(s) in front of you
• You have access to a printer
• If you are requesting a Medical Tint Waiver for a non-owner usual operator and/or passenger in your household, you will also need their Delaware identification number, driver license number, and date of birth.
• Your current address is listed on your registration card. If necessary, you can update it via mydmv.de.gov.

DMV grants medical tint waivers when a person/motorist possesses a statement signed by a licensed practitioner of medicine and surgery or osteopathic medicine or optometry verifying that tinted windows are medically necessary for the owner or usual operator of said vehicle per § 4313 Title 21 Delaware Code. Currently, out of 873,500 passenger or truck type vehicles registered in the State of Delaware 49, 615 have a Medical Tint Waiver or 17.6 %.

Governor John Carney has proclaimed May as Motorcycle Awareness Month and the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), in support of the Delaware Office of Highway Safety’s (OHS) Motorcycle Safety campaign, urges both motorists and motorcyclists to create a safer ride through education and awareness.

Motorcyclists of all skill levels, both novice and advanced can enroll in a DMV Motorcycle Safety Course. Beginner course benefits include professional training, 10% off your motorcycle liability insurance, exemption from taking the DMV road test and graduates automatically get a license to ride. Advanced course benefits include professional training and 15% off your motorcycle liability insurance.

Secretary of Transportation Nicole Majeski commented, “We continue to stress the need for increased safety awareness on our roads for all modes of transportation. With the arrival of warm weather, more motorcycles will be on the roads and over half of all fatal motorcycle crashes involve another vehicle. Regardless of how you choose to travel, safety should be everyone’s top priority.”

“Whether it’s your first time on a motorcycle or you’ve been riding for years, please enroll in one of our courses,” urged Director of the Delaware DMV Jana Simpler. “The combination of classroom and road training will not only make you a better driver but will also help reduce the likelihood of a mishap.”
