Why should I renew my license early?

A temporary License (or ID) may not be accepted for certain identification purposes. Activities such as boarding airplanes and completing financial transactions will be easier with your permanent License/ID in your possession.

Central Issuance of Driver Licenses and ID Cards

To help prevent identity theft and fraud, Vermont DMV issues Driver’s Licenses, Learner Permits and IDs from a central location and mails them to customers. 

Drivers receive a 30-day Temporary License/ID, and their permanent License, Permit or ID card arrives before the temporary certificate expires.

The certificate may be used only for driving purposes. It cannot be used for identification. Drivers may renew their License or ID as early as six months before their card expires.
