Delaware permit fees and documents

The live GDL application page still states $40, while the registered July 2026 handbook states $50 for the same eight-year Class D GDL application. The general Class D handbook fee table also states $50. Amounts are preserved as an unresolved conflict, not treated as different applicant stages.
