Drivers License

How To Get A Delaware Drivers License

In Delaware, driver’s licenses are administered by the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. If you operate a motor vehicle on roadways in Delaware, you must possess a driver’s license. Drivers who are under the age of 18 will participate in the Graduated Driver License Program. Within this, drivers who are between the ages of 16 and 18 will apply for a Level One Learner’s Permit. Candidates must undergo a Delaware Driver Education Certificate (Blue Certificate) stating that they passed a certified Delaware Driver Education Course. Additionally, candidates must have their driver license application signed by a sponsor. This sponsor assumes liability for any damages suffered due to the minor’s negligence. Sponsors may be one or both of the parents of the minor, a legal guardian, or is a person deemed “acceptable to the Secretary of Transportation or the Chief of Driver Services.” Within six months of the issuance of the Level One Learner’s Permit, sponsors must certify that the minor has driven 50 hours, within this 10 hours of nigh time driving. Additionally, minors may not have any passengers in the car other than an adult supervisor and one other passenger. After six months, minor drivers may drive unsupervised between the hours of 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM. There are some restrictions and variations for minors being able to drive within the hours of 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM, including school, work and church related activities. When a candidate is 17 years old but not yet 18 years old, and they have held a Level One Learner’s Permit they may apply for a Class D Operators License. In addition, the candidate may not have had any issues while driving such as having their license suspended, nor may they have had a sponsor revoke their endorsement. Candidates are eligible to take the road test 10 days after passing the rules test.
