AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 21 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATED TO MOTOR VEHICLES.

This Act will establish the ability for contracted third-party agreements between select qualified private companies and the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles to process certain vehicle-related services. This will act as an additional resource if chosen by Delaware residents or their secured interests. For years, Delaware’s Division of Motor Vehicles has struggled to conduct timely vehicle processing of residents’ titling and registrations, with an average wait time exceeding 4-8 weeks for in-state and out-of-state purchases. With the population now exceeding one million residents, allowing third parties to assist in vehicle processing will ensure timely processing of motor vehicles applications while alleviating the strain on DMV locations and personnel.
