For your vehicle title be prepared to “transfer” title to your new name by completing the title transfer form, but BEFORE YOU DO THIS, MAKE SURE TO ASK THE VERMONT DMV person. We have not been able to confirm this procedure. In other jurisdictions, they have you:

  • Complete the transfer form putting your new name in the “Seller” portion; and
  • Pay a fee.
