Can I transfer my vehicle registration from another state?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, transferring a vehicle registration from another state to Delaware is a straightforward process, but there are specific steps that must be followed to ensure compliance with Delaware law. First, you will need to gather all necessary documents. This includes the current vehicle title, proof of identity, proof of residency in Delaware, and any lien information if applicable. Once you have all required documents, you will need to visit a Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV/RMV) office to submit your application for registration. During your visit, you will also be required to pay the applicable registration fees. Additionally, Delaware typically requires that vehicles be inspected, so you may need to schedule a vehicle inspection as part of this process. After the registration is transferred successfully, you will be issued a new Delaware license plate and registration certificate. It is advisable to check the Delaware DMV website for the most current details on fees, required documents, and hours of operation. This will ensure you are fully prepared for your visit.
