What is MV-351?
The MV351 Re-Examination Request Form, printed as "Driver Re-Examination Request for Law Enforcement," is the Delaware DMV form on which a law enforcement agency asks that a named individual be re-examined for their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle on Delaware highways.
The form is addressed to the Division of Motor Vehicles, Driver Improvement Unit, and states that the request is made pursuant to Title 21 Del. C. §2714 (b). It identifies the driver (name, date of birth, address and license number), asks the officer to give detailed, specific reasons for the request, and records whether the individual was treated at a medical facility and where.
Completing it produces a signed request from the reporting officer and the Troop Commander or Police Chief. The form says both signatures are required for processing. It does not re-examine anyone by itself: it asks the DMV to do so.
The Delaware DMV forms list also shows a separate "Driver Re-examination Request Form for Physicians or Immediate Family Member." MV351 is the version for law enforcement. The same list shows MV346, the Physicians Findings Form, as a separate document. The revision printed on this form is MV-351, Revised 8/2023.
Who needs to file MV-351?
Law enforcement officers in Delaware who want the DMV to re-examine a driver's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle use this form. The reporting officer completes it, and the Troop Commander or Police Chief must also sign it with their IBM number. The form states that both signatures are required for processing.
The form is not for everyone who has a concern about a driver. The DMV forms list shows a separate "Driver Re-examination Request Form for Physicians or Immediate Family Member," so physicians and family members use that form and not MV351. The form itself is titled for law enforcement and has signature blocks only for a reporting officer and a Troop Commander or Police Chief.
The person named on the form is the driver to be re-examined. That person does not complete or sign it. They are identified by name, date of birth, address and license number.
When to file MV-351
Submit MV351 when a law enforcement officer has a concern about a driver's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle and wants the DMV to re-examine that driver under Title 21 Del. C. §2714 (b). The form prints no filing deadline, validity period or renewal cycle, so the trigger is the officer's request itself.
Complete it only when you have the detail the form asks for: the driver's identifying information, a specific reason for the request, and whether the individual was treated at a medical facility. The form is not processed without both required signatures, so get the Troop Commander's or Police Chief's signature before sending it. The form gives no processing time.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Sending the form with only one signature; the form says both the reporting officer's and the Troop Commander's or Police Chief's signatures are required for processing.
- Writing a vague or one-line reason; the form asks for detailed, specific information about why the individual should be re-examined.
- Leaving out the IBM numbers beside the officer and the Troop Commander or Police Chief.
- Skipping the medical facility question, or answering Yes without giving the facility name on the "If Yes, Where" line.
- Entering the driver's name in the wrong order; the name line is Last, First, Middle.
- Using MV351 when a physician or an immediate family member is making the request; the DMV lists a separate form for them.
- Leaving off the license number, date of birth or address, which identify the driver the DMV is asked to re-examine.
