Vermont § 610 - License certificates

§ 610. License certificates

• (a) The Commissioner shall assign a distinguishing number to each licensee and shall furnish
  the licensee with a license certificate that shows the number and the licensee’s full
  name, date of birth, and residential address, except that at the request of the licensee,
  the licensee’s mailing address may be listed, or an alternative address may be listed
  if otherwise authorized by law. The certificate also shall include a brief physical
  description and a space for the signature of the licensee. The license shall be void
  until signed by the licensee. If a veteran, as defined in 38 U.S.C. § 101(2) and including an individual disabled during active military, naval, air, or space
  service, as defined in 38 U.S.C. § 101(24), requests a veteran designation and provides proof of veteran status as specified
  in subdivision 603(a)(3) of this title, and the Office of Veterans’ Affairs confirms the individual’s status as an honorably
  discharged veteran; a veteran discharged under honorable conditions; or an individual
  disabled during active military, naval, air, or space service, the license certificate
  shall include the term “veteran” on its face. (b) A motor vehicle operator’s license issued to an individual who is under the age of
  18 shall be distinguishable by color from a motor vehicle operator’s license issued
  to an individual who is over the age of 18 but under the age of 21, and both cards
  shall be distinguishable by color from a motor vehicle operator’s license issued to
  an individual 21 or older. A motor vehicle operator’s license issued to an individual
  under the age of 21 shall clearly indicate, in prominent type, the date on which the
  individual will become 21. The distinguishing colors shall be the same as those used
  to distinguish identification cards issued under section 115 of this title. (c) Each license certificate issued to a first-time applicant and each subsequent renewal
  by that individual shall be issued with the photograph or imaged likeness of the licensee
  included on the certificate. The Commissioner shall determine the locations where
  photographic licenses may be issued. An individual issued a license containing an
  imaged likeness under this subsection may renew by mail, except that a renewal by
  a licensee required to have a photograph or imaged likeness must be made in person
  so that an updated imaged likeness of the individual is obtained not less often than
  once every nine years. (d) Each license certificate issued to an initial or renewal applicant shall include a
  bar code with minimum data elements as prescribed in 6 C.F.R. § 37.19. (Amended 1993, No. 212 (Adj. Sess.), § 9; 1999, No. 163 (Adj. Sess.), § 3; 2003, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 7; 2013, No. 57, § 15; 2019, No. 60, § 4; 2021, No. 20, § 235; 2023, No. 165 (Adj. Sess.), § 40, eff. June 6, 2024.)
