***SCAM ALERT!!! - All licensees be aware of an ongoing scam. A licensee may receive a call from a person impersonating an investigator, board member, or another government agency official. The call may come from a random cell phone number or spoofing the Division of Professional Regulation’s main phone number of (302) 744-4500. Click HERE for more information.***

Apply by examination if you:
Apply by reciprocity if you:
Apply by upgrade to a Licensed Masters Social Worker if you:
If you obtained your license by Reciprocity, you do not qualify for an upgrade.
The upgrade process allows you to transition to a higher level of licensure providing you meet ALL licensure requirements for that license level. For example, if you hold an active Bachelor’s social work license by grandfather provision, you MUST meet the education and examination requirements for the higher level.
To apply for a license you must create your DELPROS user account. Go to the DELPROS online portal, and then click on Apply/Manage a License and Service Requests, then click the REGISTER button. As a new user, to create an account you must use either of the options below:
If you are already an existing DELPROS portal user, log in with your unique email address and password under the “Existing User” section.
Once you have created your user account you will be logged into your DELPROS e-License Dashboard.
Note: During the application process, you are required to either “upload” a required document or “acknowledge” a required “third-party” form for licensure.
DELPROS allows you to save your incomplete application and return to it later to finish the process. You only have six (6) months to submit your application once you begin.
You may check the status of your application online throughout the entire application process by using the “View Application Status” feature in DELPROS on your e-License dashboard.
NOTE: You do not have to submit your official transcript again if you are applying to upgrade your license.
