Welcome to Delaware.

Bad news is no.  Since you are new to DE, they will also want a FULL notarized driving record from PA.
Any other question on the process, ask.

Welcome aboard, @fredbaro. Which county are you moving to?
 
The requirement for 5 reference from the county of residence is law not a regulation or policy.  Conventional advice is to frequent a local shooting range, make friends, and ask for references.  
Delcode details here. (http://delcode.delaware.gov/title11/c005/sc07/index.shtml#1441)
(a2) At the same time the person shall file, with the Prothonotary, a certificate of 5 respectable citizens of the county in which the applicant resides at the time of filing the application. The certificate shall clearly state that the applicant is a person of full age, sobriety and good moral character, that the applicant bears a good reputation for peace and good order in the community in which the applicant resides, and that the carrying of a concealed deadly weapon by the applicant is necessary for the protection of the applicant or the applicant's property, or both. The certificate shall be signed with the proper signatures and in the proper handwriting of each such respectable citizen.

Moving to New Castle County

Many of us live in NCC, myself included. Ommelanden has a nice pistol range, and the cost is extremely reasonable. The hours are weekends and Wednesday afternoons. Perhaps if we happened to meet there, we could get to know each other. As Cbmarine said, the range is a great place to make references.

The range is now open on Thursday and Fridays also.
