How to Renew Your Car Registration in Delaware

Being able to drive on the Delaware roadways is a privilege that citizens have. In order to pay for the upkeep on these roads, you will have to pay to have your car registered with the Delaware DMV. Each year, this registration will have to be renewed in order for you to drive legally on the roadways. In order to get a notice, you will have to register online at the Delaware DMV website.
