Additional Information For Those Applying For A State Identification Card

Megan's Law/Sex Offenders: By signing the driver license or identification card application form, applicants acknowledge that the Division of Motor Vehicles has notified them that registration in compliance with Section 4120 of Title 11, Delaware law, is mandatory for any person who has been convicted in any state of any offense which if committed or attempted in this State, would have been punishable as one or more of the offenses referenced in Section 4120(a) of Title 11, and that such registration must occur within seven days of coming into any country, city or town in which he/she temporarily resides or is domiciled for that length of time. This form will be permanently retained. There is a $5.00 fee to add the “Y” restriction.

Mandatory disclosure of Social Security Numbers. Disclosure of the applicant's social security number is mandatory if eligible. Federal law authorizes such disclosure. See 42 U.S.C.

Social Security numbers will not be released to businesses or private individuals, but may be released to State agencies to carry out their governmental functions.
