Registration, Transfer

To transfer your Vermont registration from one vehicle (car, motorhome, jitney, motorbus, motorcycle, trailer, or truck) to another, you must do the following:

  • Complete the entire Vermont Motor Vehicle Registration, Tax, and Title Application.
  • Be sure to enter the Plate number that you are transferring.
  • You must complete Section 7 of the Vermont Registration Application or include your current Vermont Registration with the "Transfer Section" completed.
  • A change of legal ownership of the vehicle you are transferring from must occur before a transfer of registration is allowed.

Calculating the Purchase & Use Tax

Purchase and Use Tax is due at the time of registration and/or title at a percentage of the purchase price or the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) clean trade-in value, whichever is greater, minus the value of the trade-in vehicle or any other allowable credit.

If registering by mail (mailing address), include a printed NADA valuation (dated in the last seven days) with your paperwork.
