Is the DMV open today in Vermont?
In Vermont, driver licensing is handled by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
The DMV says it is closed for most Vermont state holidays, and these dates come from the state holiday schedule published by the Vermont Department of Human Resources.
Vermont calls the second Monday in October Indigenous Peoples' Day, and most state offices also close the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Hours differ by office, so call ahead or book through the DMV's online appointment system if your trip falls near a holiday.
