How to Renew Your Vehicle Registration in Vermont

The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) notifies vehicle owners of the expiration date of their vehicle registration by mail. Vehicle registrations can be renewed before the expiration date either through the mail, using the DMV's online service, or in person.

REGISTRATION RENEWAL BY U.S. MAIL

  • This option is best suited if you have at least 14 days to go before your registration expires.
  • Send the completed registration renewal form and the appropriate payment in check to:
    Department of Motor Vehicles
    120 State St.
    Montpelier    

VT 05603-0001

REGISTRATION RENEWAL VIA THE INTERNET

  1. Go to the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles Express website.
  2. Have your credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover) or debit card (MasterCard or VISA) handy to pay for the renewal.

REGISTRATION RENEWAL IN PERSON

  1. Locate the DMV office in your area.
  2. Bring the registration renewal form, along with cash, check, credit or debit card to pay for the renewal. You will be given your new registration certificate and decal right away.
