If you have moved out of state and you have lost your license or registration, the Department of Motor Vehicles can provide you with a verification letter so that you may apply for a license or registration in the state where you now reside.

These letters are issued only to verify that you had a valid license and/or registration in the State of Connecticut and cannot be used in lieu of a valid license and/or registration. To obtain a verification letter, you can call our telephone center or if you prefer, you can also write to us at:

Department of Motor Vehicles
Phone Center
60 State Street
Wethersfield, CT  06161

Note:  In written correspondence, please be sure to include the type of information you are looking for, your name, date of birth, and former Connecticut address.

If you need to obtain your CT drivers license number, it will be necessary to request a copy of your drivers license file using a Copy Records Request (form J-23).

If you need to obtain the original date of issue for your CT drivers license, it will be necessary for you to request a copy of your drivers license file using a Copy Records Request (form J-23) specifying your request.
