Delaware DUI Administrative License Hearing Request
DELAWARE DUI ADMINISTRATIVE LICENSE HEARING REQUEST
Before you use this: Under 21 Del. C. § 2742(d), a written hearing request must be filed with the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles within the 15-day period after notice of revocation. Use the date on the notice to calculate your deadline and confirm that DMV receives the request on time. This is the administrative license matter; a criminal DUI case has a separate court process. The DMV's DUI hearing FAQ lists written requests by mail or fax, or delivery in person. Confirm the current destination and delivery method on your notice or by calling DMV's Revocation Section at (302) 744-2508.

Legal authority
- 21 Del. C. § 2742(d)-(f)
Criminal law paperwork covers every stage of a criminal case, from the first appearance and bail motion through pretrial motions, plea agreements, sentencing, and appeals. Deadlines in criminal cases are short and often unforgiving, and constitutional rights can be waived just by missing a filing. Using the right motion at the right time can mean the difference between evidence getting suppressed, charges getting reduced, or a case getting dismissed entirely.
