Vermont DMV issues Driver’s Licenses, Learner Permits and IDs from a central location and mails them to customers
You may contact us to inquire if the license/ID was returned to the DMV as undeliverable. If the license/ID has not been returned, you must complete a replacement license/ID application (VL-040). The fee for the replacement is $20.00 or $15.00 (CDL), and an additional $30.00 if the license/ID is enhanced.
There are no changes to the application requirements for a license/ID. The change occurs in the printing process.
Central Issue (CI) is a process in which all licenses/ID's are produced and mailed directly from a secure facility. More information about CI here.
In person applicants will be given a paper temporary license/ID. Allow at least 7-10 business days for delivery of your permanent license/ID.
The status of your license/ID can be verified by contacting us. No you will not receive a tracking number and cannot pay extra to receive one.
DMV mail is not forwarded. If you provide the DMV the new address your permanent license/ID will be sent to that address. If you applied for a license/ID longer than 20 days ago and you have not received your permanent card, please contact us.
We offer a one time special mailing option to have your license/ID mailed to a different address from the address DMV has on file.
The license/ID is trackable up to the point it is mailed. Please contact us.
No, the Vermont DMV Branches will no longer be printing licenses/ID's.
