Self-Reporting of Medical Conditions
To ensure the safety of all individuals, customers should self-report any changes in their health that might affect their ability to drive. When applying for or renewing a Delaware driver license, the applicant will be required to self-declare, report, or show certification concerning any medical conditions that may interfere with their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. The applicant may be required to submit a favorable medical report from their licensed practitioner stating that the driver's medical condition is under sufficient control to permit them to safely operate a motor vehicle. Any person licensed to operate a motor vehicle on the basis of this report may be required to furnish the Division with a new medical report every year no later than the last day of the person's birthday month. Failure to provide a favorable medical report will result in the suspension of a person's driver's license. Upon receipt of a favorable medical report, a reinstatement fee of $50.00 must be paid to the Division of Motor Vehicles in order to reinstate the license.
Special Examinations
Section 2714 of Title 21, Delaware law, allows the Division to accept requests for the re-examination of a person’s ability to safety operate a motor vehicle. These requests may be submitted by members of a driver’s immediate family, law enforcement, or licensed practitioner. To maintain a person’s driving privilege, they are required to provide favorable medical report(s) and successfully complete the Division’s eye screening, knowledge and driving skills exams, and possibly complete a certified driver rehabilitation evaluation and/or training.
Medical Review Process/Medical Suspension
Any person who is subject to loss of consciousness or have any other medical condition that may impair their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle will not be issued a Delaware driver license unless the Division receives a medical report (Medical Report of Physician’s findings MV-346) from the person's licensed practitioner stating that such person’s medical condition is under sufficient control to permit them to safely operate a motor vehicle. Any person licensed to operate a motor vehicle referred to on this report will be required to furnish the Division with a new medical report every year no later than the last day of the person's birthday month. Failure to provide a favorable medical report will result in the suspension of the person's driver's license. Upon receipt of a favorable report, a reinstatement fee of $50.00 must be paid to the Division of Motor Vehicles to reinstate the license. For further questions regarding Medical Suspension, please contact the Medical Section at (302)744-2507.
As of August 2024, DMV no longer requires mandatory reporting of medical conditions. Licensed practitioners are encouraged to report patients who may pose a danger driving.
Medical Surrender
A driver license may be voluntarily surrendered to the Division if a favorable medical report cannot be obtained. Upon receipt of a favorable medical report, there is no fee for reinstatement if the license is voluntarily surrendered before the suspension date. For further questions regarding Medical Surrender, please contact the Medical Section at (302)744-2507 or by email at dmvmedicalsection@delaware.gov.
