A portal is a one-stop shop filled with information and application choices. The Delaware.gov Web Portal was constructed to be the primary gateway to information and services provided by the State of Delaware. It was designed to be intuitive and easy to use, regardless of a visitor's knowledge of the structure of state government. In addition, the Portal is constantly being revised to better reflect new information and services provided by different state entities, as well as feedback from Portal visitors. If you have comments or suggestions on how to improve the Delaware.gov Portal, please e-mail the Government Information Center (GIC).
Specific features of the Portal
Residents, businesses, visitors, state employees, and other governments can navigate the information and services provided by the State based on what they are seeking, not based on the agency or office that provides it.
People are linked to the correct information or application, even if they don't know which government agency is involved in providing it.
The Portal includes a powerful search engine for Delaware agency and partner sites.
The Government Information Center (GIC) seeks pictures of Delaware to be featured on the State's web site, Delaware.gov. Rules governing submission of photos are available on our Solicitation For Delaware Photos page.
