Under the current Motor Vehicle Safety-Responsibility chapter (21 Del. C. ch. 29, subch. III, 'Proof of Future Responsibility'), proof of financial responsibility is triggered only by suspension for nonpayment of a motor-vehicle-accident judgment (§§ 2941-2943); no section of ch. 29 or of the DUI subchapter (§§ 4177-4177G) conditions reinstatement after a DUI on such proof. The Delaware DMV License Revocations page enumerates what is needed to reinstate after a revocation (DUI is a mandatory revocation): the $200 reinstatement fee and, if required, the written, road and eye-screen exams; the DMV IID page and Driver Improvement FAQ list the IID-license terms (course enrollment, surrender of the license, program application, proof of insurance for the IID vehicle, no other disqualifying revocation). An SR-22 / FR-44 / financial-responsibility filing is not among them. Residual reference: § 2905 (assigned-risk surcharges) still speaks of a certificate 'required for a conviction of ...
