The state rules behind the ledger

Destination title and registration
Title and register the vehicle within 60 days after becoming a Delaware resident.
Destination tax and fees
Delaware assesses a vehicle document fee based on value, subject to a prior-tax exception for certain vehicles titled and registered in the other state within 90 days. Confirm current fees and bring proof of prior tax.
Inspection or VIN
Take the out-of-state vehicle through a Delaware DMV inspection lane before title and registration. Every vehicle receives a safety inspection; model year and weight determine whether additional inspection or VIN work applies.
Old-state recovery
