You are required by law to notify the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles within 30 days of any change to your address or name.
How to change your address
Guidance
- If you move, you must change your address on your license, permit, non-driver ID, and vehicle records with the DMV within 30 days.
- If you discover an error in your address, contact us immediately.
- Vehicle and license records are NOT connected. You need to update registration documents separately.
- When you change your address for vehicle registration, we also update the title certificate record.
- While it is recommended, you do not need to order new DMV documents with your new address.
- The DMV sends documents and important notices to customers by mail. We recommend using the same address on all your applications, documents, and transactions.
The U.S. Postal Service does not notify DMV when you change your mailing address.
Changing your address with the U.S. Postal Service does not update your DMV records. You must still report your address change to the U.S. Postal Service and the DMV.
For Traffic Tickets
If you update your address for a Traffic Ticket (at Vermont Judiciary), the update does not change the address on your driver's license, non-driver ID, permit, or vehicle registration records.
If you update the address for your driver's license, non-driver ID, permit, or vehicle registration records, the update does not change the address for your traffic ticket.
