How do I obtain first time vehicle registration in Vermont? Vermont
All cars, motorcycles, motorhomes, jitneys, trucks and trailers must register with the Vermont DMV. And whether the vehicle was purchased in or out-of-state has no bearing on this requirement.
Car Registration for Used Vehicle
To apply for vehicle registration, provide the DMV with:- A Certificate of Title properly assigned to you by all names on the title and bills of sale.
- An Odometer Disclosure Statement if the vehicle is nine years old or newer.
- A completed Vermont Motor Vehicle Registration, Tax and Title Application.
- If the vehicle was registered to you in a different state you'll need to provide proof of paying taxes on the vehicle. If not, you'll be charged a tax based on the vehicle's value as determined by the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA).
- Payment for registration fee ($65 for one year; $122 for two years) and taxes, if applicable.
