If you live in Vermont and plan to drive in Vermont, you must obtain a Vermont Driver’s License. A person who has moved to the state from another jurisdiction with a valid license from that state shall obtain a VT license within 60 days of moving to the state. In accordance with state and federal law, any person holding a commercial driver license from another state must transfer their commercial driver license within 30 days of establishing residency in Vermont. The act of licensing makes driving a privilege, and holding a license requires that you drive within the limits of the law and also treat all users of the highway, including bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians with courtesy and consideration. Your influence on the lives of others is greatly expanded, as is your responsibility when you get into the driver’s seat of a motor vehicle.
