Early License Renewals

The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) today announced that, due to new legislation, there is a new option to renew driver's licenses early before they reach the expiration date.

Effective immediately, Operator's and Junior Operator's driver licenses, as well as non-driver ID cards, may be renewed at any time prior to expiration. These credentials may be renewed for either two or four years, depending on the type of license.

Applicants will receive payment credit based on the number of full years remaining on their existing credential, rounded down to the next whole year. For example, if there is one full year remaining on the person's current license, they will receive a proportional discount on the renewal fee.

The new credential will begin from the applicant's last birthday and will be valid for a standard renewal period.

The process for early renewal can be completed by mail or in-person at any DMV location.
