New & Teen Drivers

Teens aged 15-17 and new drivers over the age of 18 are required to hold a Learner’s Permit (LP) in order to drive in Vermont before they have obtained a Driver’s License (DL). 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.

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.

CDL

You must have a valid Commercial Driver License (CDL) or Commercial Learner’s Permit (CLP) to drive a commercial motor vehicle in Vermont. A CLP allows a person to receive commercial driving instruction and behind-the-wheel driving experience on public roads. You must already have a valid Vermont Driver’s License (DL) to apply for a CLP. In order to obtain a CDL, you must pass a written examination and a road skills test.
