Section 2225-9.0 - Principal Residence Address

9.1 The division and Delaware State Police must be able to contact every DPC holder at the physical location where he/she lives in this State. Therefore, every applicant must provide two documents that show the individual's name and principal Delaware residence using such documents as utility bills, auto or life insurance policies, bank account records, credit card statements, employment records, signed contract to purchase home in this State, rental agreement or any other document specifically approved by the Chief of Driver Services or Director. These source documents will be electronically stored and when possible, verified. The applicant should notify the division within 30 days after he changes his address. No proof is needed to change a person's address, and it can be accomplished by mail. A Delaware DPC will not be issued to an applicant unless the applicant has established a principal residence address in this State at the time of application.
