Is the DMV open today in Delaware?
In Delaware, driver licensing is handled by the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), DelDOT. Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
Delaware does not close state offices for Presidents Day or Columbus Day, so DMV lanes are open those Mondays.
The state does close for Good Friday, general Election Day, the day after Thanksgiving, and the Sussex County afternoon of Return Day.
Dates come from Delaware's legal state holidays for 2026, published by the Department of Human Resources.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Delaware does. The final word is always the agency's own page.
Checked against the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV), DelDOT and the state's published holiday schedule, verified August 2026. When a schedule for a new year has not been published yet, this page says so — it never guesses.
