After a revocation, the current Delaware reinstatement fee is $200. Court, treatment, insurance, and other costs depend on the individual case.

If arrested for DUI, the officer takes your license on the spot and issues a temporary license valid for 15 days. Request an administrative hearing within those 15 days, online, by mail, fax, or in person. Losing the hearing triggers a 3-month revocation (first), 12 months (second). Refusing a breathalyzer triggers a 12-month revocation (first), 18 months (second). A DUI conviction stays on your Delaware record for at least 5 years. An IID is mandatory for all DUI offenders since February 1, 2015, call the IID Unit at 302-744-2540. Underage possession or consumption of alcohol (even without driving) can revoke your license for 30 days (first) or 90-180 days (subsequent). Complete all required forms for your license reinstatement in blue or black ink. The Georgetown DMV processing center frequently rejects forms filled in pencil or colored ink, requiring resubmission and adding weeks to the process. See DUI consequences at dmv.de.gov. For DUI with a Delaware learner's permit and zero tolerance revocation rules is covered in the Delaware learner's permit guide at shoro.ai.

Can a learner-permit holder get restricted or ignition-interlock driving privileges after a DUI? Possibly, but not automatically. Eligibility depends on the specific DUI or revocation path, waiting periods, and other DMV requirements. A Level One permit holder should confirm eligibility with Delaware DMV before relying on any restricted or ignition-interlock driving authority.
