In-person Office Visits
We offer real-time interpreters as needed. Each office has a "Need an Interpreter/Please point to your language" poster displayed; point to the language needed, and we will start a three-way call with a qualified interpreter. There is no cost to use this service.
All DMV offices provide the usage of UbiDuo to facilitate easier communication access. The UbiDuo is a communication device specifically designed for individuals who may have communication difficulties. It enables real-time, two-way communication through a split-screen display, aiming to enhance accessibility for individuals interacting with the VT DMV.
To arrange for an in person American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, call DMV’s general information line 802-828-2000 from a voice phone or 711 to use Vermont Relay Service-Stay Connected Using Vermont Relay. Other forms of relay calls are also accepted.
