Essential DMV Forms for Connecticut Drivers

Whether you're applying for a driver’s license, transferring a vehicle title, or renewing your registration, the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires specific forms to complete the process. Understanding which forms you need—and where to find them—can save time and avoid delays.

Most Connecticut DMV forms are available online in PDF format and must be printed and submitted either in person or by mail. Below is a guide to the essential forms every Connecticut driver should know about.

Driver Licensing Forms

To apply for or renew a Connecticut driver’s license, several key forms are typically required:

  • Form R-229 (Application for Non-Commercial Driver License): Required for first-time applicants, including teens and new residents. You’ll also use this form to upgrade a learner's permit to a full license.
  • Form R-7 (License Renewal): This may be mailed to you, or you can fill it out at a DMV office when renewing your license in person.

For additional guidance on obtaining your license, see our resource on How to Get a Driver's License in Connecticut.

Vehicle Registration and Title Forms

If you're registering a vehicle or transferring ownership, you'll need:

  • Form H-13B (Application for Registration and Title): This is the primary form used for registering any vehicle in Connecticut.
  • Form Q-1 (Supplemental Assignment of Ownership): Used when there's no room left on the title to assign ownership.
  • Form A-83 (Bill of Sale): Required for private party vehicle purchases.

Make sure to check if your vehicle meets Connecticut REAL ID Requirements when registering.

Address Change and Name Change Forms

Keeping your DMV records up-to-date is essential:

  • Form B-58 (Change of Address): Required within 48 hours of moving.
  • Form E-78 (Name Change Request): Use this form to update your name due to marriage, divorce, or court order.

Specialty Forms

You may encounter other forms based on your situation:

  • Form P-147 (Request for Driver History Abstract): Needed if you're applying for insurance or driving-related employment.
  • Form R-360 (Application for Handicap Parking Permit): Required to obtain or renew a placard for accessible parking.

Where to Get These Forms

All official forms are available through the Connecticut DMV website. You can download and print most of them at home. Some forms, especially those requiring notarization or official validation, must be submitted in person.

Tips for Form Submission

  • Use Black Ink: Complete all forms using black ink for legibility.
  • Sign Where Indicated: Many forms require signatures—check if you also need a witness or notarization.
  • Check Supporting Documents: Most applications require documents like proof of identity, residency, or insurance.
