Delaware requirements
Ten days instead of twelve months
The gap between the teen and adult paths in Delaware is unusually wide. A first-time applicant over 18 uses a Temporary Instruction Permit rather than the Level One Learner’s Permit, and the timeline shortens dramatically.
Temporary Instruction Permit
Issued after you pass the eye screening and knowledge exam. It is valid for six months, and you must pass all required exams within that window.
Hold it 10 days
Adult applicants are eligible for the road test after holding a valid permit for at least 10 days — against the 12-month GDL programme that applies under 18.
A supervisor aged 21, not 25
While learning, you must be accompanied by a licensed driver aged at least 21. Teen permit holders need someone 25 or older with five years of experience.
Driver education is not required for first-time applicants aged 18 and over, except for certain applicants under 22 receiving special education services under an Individualized Education Program. New residents must obtain a Delaware licence within 60 days. Confirm current rules with the Delaware DMV.
Frequently asked questions
Delaware Temporary Instruction Permit and licence FAQs
How long must an adult hold a Delaware permit?
At least 10 days before you are eligible to take the road test, compared with the 12-month graduated programme that applies to applicants under 18.
Do adults need driver education in Delaware?
Not generally. Driver education is a condition of the Level One Learner’s Permit for teen applicants. Certain applicants under 22 receiving special education services under an IEP follow the GDL process instead.
How long is a Temporary Instruction Permit valid?
Six months. You must pass all of the required examinations within that period, so it is worth booking the road test rather than leaving it late.
Who must accompany an adult permit holder?
A licensed driver who is at least 21 years old. The stricter age-25 and five-year experience rule applies to Level One Learner’s Permit holders.
I have just moved to Delaware — how long do I have?
You are required to obtain a Delaware driver licence within 60 days of becoming a bona fide resident. Delaware defines a resident as someone with a home in the state who lives in it more than 183 days a year.
What does the Delaware knowledge test cover?
Traffic laws, road signs and safe driving practices from the Delaware Driver Manual. The practice tests on this page are grouped by those same topics.
