IFTA Identification Decals
Each carrier is issued a set of vehicle identification decals for each
qualified vehicle in its fleet. The identification decals must be
placed on the exterior portion of both sides of the cab. Decals are
not vehicle specific. Failure to display the identification decal in
the required locations or to carry a temporary permit may subject
the vehicle operator to the purchase of a trip permit and a citation.
The IFTA decal may be displayed one month prior to its effective
date. Carriers from new member jurisdictions are allowed 60 days
from the date of the new member’s IFTA program implementation
to display the IFTA License and decal. All IFTA carriers are
allowed a two-month grace period to display the current year IFTA
license and decal.
In the case of transporters, manufacturers, dealers, or drive-away
operations, the IFTA decal need not be permanently affixed but
may be temporarily displayed in a visible manner on both sides of
the cab. In the case of buses, the decal may be located on the
driver’s side.
Decals are obtained annually at the time of renewal for all qualified
motor vehicles based in Delaware. To obtain additional decals an
application must be submitted to the Delaware Motor Carrier
Service Section/IFTA Unit.
Temporary Permit (30 days)
Delaware may provide for the issuance of a 30-day IFTA
temporary permit to a carrier in good standing in lieu of display of
the annual decals. This permit may be obtained from the Delaware
Motor Carrier Services Section/IFTA Unit.
In lieu of permanent decals, an IFTA temporary permit may be
issued by the base jurisdiction valid for all member jurisdictions.
The temporary permit must be vehicle specific and contain the
expiration date. The temporary permit need not be displayed but
shall be carried in the vehicle.
Failure to carry the temporary permit may subject the vehicle
operator to the purchase of a trip permit and a citation.
Bonding
Bonds are not required of first-time applicants. A bond may be
required when a carrier fails to file a timely report, when tax has
not been remitted, or when an audit indicates severe problems. A
carrier required to post a bond must provide a surety bond. Security
required is a $500.00 minimum or twice the amount of the liability,
whichever is greater.
