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.
