State to include medical indicator on licenses
The Division of Motor Vehicles recently began incorporating medical indicators on Delaware driver's licenses or identification cards. The medical symbol will be displayed on the front of the card, and the back will identify the individual's condition so responders can adjust treatment accordingly. Participating in this program is voluntary, and there is no charge to have the indicator on the license or ID card. The customer can complete a form indicating their condition and sign it. The signed form gives the DMV permission to notate the condition on the back of the card along with the medical indicator on the front. The form can be obtained at any DMV location.

"The Delaware Trauma System operates under the saying, 'Getting the right patient to the right facility in the right amount of time,'" said Division of Public Health Director Dr. Karyl T. Rattay. "Allowing Delawareans to voluntarily list a medical condition on their driver's license or photo identification card is a valuable tool that will assist our first responders when providing care in the field during a medical emergency." Sgt. Richard Bratz, Delaware State Police public information officer, said, "The medical indicator allows law enforcement to gain some insight on medical conditions for drivers who may have a specific condition like seizures, arthritis, and insulin required."
