Specialty "Choose Life" License Plates (Delaware Division Of Motor Vehicles)

Dear Ms. Farkus,

This responds to your request dated February 24, 2019 to the Delaware Department of Transportation ("DelDOT") pursuant to the Delaware Freedom of Information Act, 29 Del. C. §§10001-10007 ("FOIA").

FOIA provides for access to public records for citizens of the state of Delaware. Accordingly, because you do not appear to be a Delaware citizen, you do not have a guaranteed right under FOIA to access State of Delaware public records. See Del. Op. Att'y Gen. 16-IB20 (2016) (finding that the denial of a FOIA request by a non-Delaware citizens was not a violation of FOIA because the word "'citizen,' as used in Section 10003(a), refers to citizens of the State of Delaware."). As the right to access documents pursuant FOIA is not guaranteed for non-Delaware citizens, DelDOT is denying your request.

Thank you,
Kristin
