Wilmington SR-22 questions
Where do I file an SR-22 in Wilmington?
In most cases you don't. Delaware doesn't use SR-22 filings, so there's usually nothing to file and no office to visit for one. If another state told you to file an SR-22, ask that state's DMV or a licensed agent.
Can I get car insurance in Wilmington if I don't own a car?
Yes. Delaware law recognizes an operator's (non-owner) policy, which covers you when you drive a car you don't own. A licensed agent can quote one today.
