The other poster is right, you just need to bring your unexpired California license to the DMV with some paperwork and you’re good to go. Just look on the website, Vermont government is very user friendly.

As a Vermonter who lived in LA for a bit, you are in for a big change. Literally everything is different. Like, it felt like I was on a different planet in LA vs. here. Keep in mind anything you may see as a convenience in your present life doesn’t exist here. I prefer it that way, but you should be aware that you will have to 100% reset your expectations for how society functions.
