Contact

Reaching the right resource for Delaware state information matters more than it might seem. This page covers the contact channels available through this reference, the geographic scope of topics addressed, and how to frame a question so it reaches the right place without unnecessary back-and-forth. The distinction between a state agency inquiry and a reference site inquiry is also worth making clear — they are not the same thing, and knowing the difference saves time.

How to reach this office

The contact form on this site routes messages to the editorial and reference team responsible for the content published here. That is a specific and limited function. This is a reference resource covering Delaware state government structure, law, agencies, economy, geography, and public services — not a government office, not a licensing body, and not a legal services provider.

Messages submitted through the contact form are reviewed and handled according to the nature of the inquiry:

1. Content questions — factual questions about Delaware state topics, requests to clarify published information, or flags about potentially outdated material.
2. Correction requests — if a page contains an error, a broken citation, or a factual discrepancy, those are taken seriously and reviewed against primary sources such as the Delaware Code, the Delaware General Assembly, and relevant state agencies.
3. Coverage gaps — requests for topics not yet addressed that fall within the scope of Delaware state reference content.
4. Technical issues — broken pages, formatting problems, or navigation errors.

What the contact form is not appropriate for: legal advice, government benefits assistance, licensing inquiries, business registration questions directed at the state, or anything requiring action by an official Delaware agency. Those belong with the agencies themselves — the Delaware Division of Revenue, the Division of Professional Regulation, or whichever body holds jurisdiction over the specific matter.

Additional contact options

For time-sensitive factual corrections or detailed editorial notes, a direct message is more efficient than a general inquiry. The form accepts attachments for submissions that include supporting documentation — a primary source citation, a screenshot of conflicting information, or a public record excerpt.

The distinction worth drawing here is between two types of contact needs:

• Reference inquiries (what this site handles): questions about how Delaware government works, what a statute says, how a particular agency is structured, or what the state's geography or demographics look like.
• Government service inquiries (what state agencies handle): applying for something, appealing a decision, filing a complaint, obtaining a license, or requesting public records under Delaware's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Routing a government service question through this contact form will result in a redirect to the appropriate agency. It is not inefficiency — it is accuracy. The Delaware.gov portal is the correct starting point for most resident-facing government transactions.

Service area covered

This site covers Delaware as a state jurisdiction — all 3 counties (New Castle, Kent, and Sussex), the incorporated municipalities within them, and the state-level institutions that govern across that geography. Delaware's 1,982 square miles (U.S. Census Bureau) make it the second-smallest state by land area in the country, which does not make it simple. The state hosts more than 1.6 million registered business entities (Delaware Division of Corporations), a court system with international commercial significance, and a constitutional structure that dates to 1897.

Topics within scope span the full breadth of the Delaware State Government Structure, including the General Assembly, the Governor's Office, the state court system, agencies and departments, tax structure, public education, health services, elections and voting, and state history.

Topics outside scope: municipal-level ordinances not reflected in state law, private business disputes, federal matters where Delaware is incidentally involved, and anything requiring professional licensure advice.

What to include in your message

A clear message gets a faster, more useful response. The following structure works well:

1. The specific page or topic — link to the page or name the subject directly. "The section on Delaware Medicaid" is more actionable than "something about health."
2. The nature of the issue — correction, gap, clarification, or technical problem.
3. The source, if applicable — if submitting a correction, name the primary source that contradicts the published information. Sources recognized as authoritative for Delaware content include the Delaware Code, Delaware Register of Regulations, official agency publications, and federal databases covering Delaware-specific data.
4. Contact information — an email address for the response to reach.

Messages without a named topic or specific concern are harder to route and slower to address. A two-sentence message that names the page, states the issue, and cites a source is more useful than a detailed message that circles around the actual question.

Delaware is a small state with an outsized institutional footprint — one that rewards specific, well-framed questions.
