- All other vehicles are required to be inspected at any DMV Inspection Lane before a Delaware title can be issued.
Step 2:
- At the Inspection Lane, you will be given an application for a Delaware title (MV212).
- Required Documents: the Certificate of Origin or the existing title with an Odometer Disclosure ; the bill of sale if purchased from a dealer; proof of valid Delaware liability insurance ; and your Delaware driver 's license or other accepted proof of residency.
- A notarized power of attorney from the leasing company must be provided to the lessee to sign the title application.
