Driver's Education (Delaware)

Tool Search: Driver's Education

The Delaware Department of Education manages the ability to get a driver's license for all Delaware residents under 18. Successful completion of the program results in a Blue Certificate that is exchanged at the DMV for a driver's license.

Driver Education records may not overlap. Users must end-date an open record before creating a new one.
