Vermont

When moving from Louisiana to Vermont, you must register your vehicle within 30 days of establishing residency. You must also transfer your driver's license within 30 days. Plan to visit the Vermont DMV promptly after your move.

Registering your vehicle in Vermont costs $76. Title transfer fee is $35 (title transfer is required). Vehicle sales/use tax is 6% purchase and use tax. Budget for these costs before your move.

Vermont requires both a safety inspection (Annual) and emissions testing (Statewide annual OBD test). You will need to pass both before or shortly after registering your vehicle. This is one of the stricter states for vehicle inspections.

Vermont requires minimum liability insurance of 25/50/10 (bodily injury per person / per accident / property damage, in thousands). Your current Louisiana minimums are 25/50/25. You must update your insurance to meet Vermont requirements before registering.

Vermont requires both front and rear plates (Louisiana requires rear only). Surrender out-of-state plates; new VT plates issued. You will need to surrender your Louisiana plates and obtain new Vermont plates.
