Driver's License Manual - Spanish
With no plate stickers, do I still have to register my vehicle?
Yes. You are still required to maintain a current vehicle registration, and a valid registration certificate is required to complete your vehicle inspection.
How do I get a new license plate if I do not want to have a registration sticker on my license plate?
Replacement plates are available. Since removing the sticker is not a requirement, the replacement plate fee will be due. You may apply for a standard-issue replacement license plate using form VD-016 (Replacement Plate Application) or by logging into your myDMV account and selecting Request Replacement Registration or New Plate.
Do I have to remove the sticker(s) from my license plate?
You are not required to remove any existing sticker(s) on license plates. You may cover a registration sticker with a masking material such as tape if you wish; however, covering or removing your sticker is unnecessary.
With no sticker on plates, how will law enforcement know my vehicle is registered?
Vermont and out-of-state law enforcement agencies have electronic access to the DMV’s database from their patrol vehicles, allowing them to verify whether a vehicle registration is valid.
