How to Restore Your Delaware License After a No-Insurance Suspension
The short answer
These are the steps the Delaware agency lists to restore a license after a suspension for no insurance. The state's reinstatement fees are $50 to $200, depending on the suspension. Delaware uses its own proof-of-insurance rule instead of the SR-22 name.
Steps listed by the Delaware agency
- Have your insurance company email or fax proof of insurance to the DMV Uninsured Motorist Section (deum@delaware.gov, fax 302-739-4750)
- Pay the uninsured vehicle fee: $100 for the first 30 days and $5 each day thereafter
- Pay the $50 registration reinstatement fee and the $50 driver license reinstatement fee
- Pay online with myDMV account services, by phone at (302) 744-2513, or in person in Dover

Check your status first
The state has no online status check that we found; its page lists how to ask by phone or in person.
Need to drive to work while suspended? The state offers a Occupational license. Many states limit these licenses to certain suspensions, such as DUI cases, so check that it covers yours.
