How the Driver's License format works
- Format
- 8 digits, or 7 digits followed by a letter
- Example
- 12345678
Things to watch for
- Format-only check — does not confirm the license actually exists, is valid, or is registered to a real driver
- The number encodes no checksum digit we verify; the trailing-letter form is documented but less common
- Runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is transmitted or stored
^(\d{8}|\d{7}[A-Z])$A Vermont driver’s license number is most commonly 8 numeric digits, e.g. 12345678, issued by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. A second, less common form is also documented: 7 digits followed by a single trailing letter. As one of the least populous states, Vermont’s licensing volume is small enough that both forms can plausibly still be in active circulation side by side rather than one having fully replaced the other.
Reading the format
This tool accepts either the plain 8-digit form or 7 digits plus a trailing letter, rejecting anything that fits neither — a digit count that’s off, or a letter appearing anywhere other than the very end of the shorter form.
What a pass doesn’t tell you
Neither Vermont shape carries a check digit this tool can verify. A pass confirms only that the format is right — not that DMV issued that number, that the license is current, or that it belongs to a real driver.
Scope: format-only validation across both documented forms, entirely client-side.

Driver's License FAQ
What is the format of a Vermont driver's license number?
Most commonly 8 numeric digits, e.g. 12345678, issued by the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles. A less common documented alternate form is 7 digits followed by a trailing letter.
How common is the trailing-letter Vermont format?
It's documented but less common than the plain 8-digit form — this checker still accepts it, since a less frequent format is not the same as an invalid one.
Does a valid format confirm the license is currently active?
No. It only confirms the string matches one of the two documented shapes, not that DMV has that number on file or that the license is valid.
