New & Teen Drivers

Persons under the age of 18 may obtain a Junior Driver’s License (JDL) after holding a LP for at least one year, completing a driver education course, and completing both a written exam and a road test. Individuals over the age of 18 may obtain a DL after passing a written exam, vision test, and road test.Resources for new & teen drivers

New-to-State Drivers
New Vermont residents are required to obtain a Vermont Driver License within 60 days of moving to Vermont or before their out-of-state license expires, whichever comes first. If your out-of-state license has been expired for more than one year, you may be required to take a written test before you can obtain a Vermont license. Vermont allows visitors with driver licenses from a list of specific foreign countries to operate their own private passenger vehicles for up to a year, but does not recognize any “international driver license” as valid.Resources for new-to-state drivers
