The University of Vermont Police Services and Service Officer Team provides an escort service for students, faculty, staff, and affiliates whose circumstances require them to travel alone on campus, in isolated areas after dark, during times of low activity on campus, or whenever there is concern for personal safety.

The purpose of the safety escort is to provide a safe means of transportation for the University of Vermont community during evening hours. Escorts are provided between campus buildings and are subject to staff availability. To request a safety escort, call 802-656-3473 or 6-3473 from a university landline telephone. You will be advised of the estimated wait time, if any, for your escort.

UVM Police Services can help with VIN verification forms! 

A VIN verification form is a document the Vermont DMV requires in certain situations to confirm a vehicle's identity. The form is used to physically inspect the vehicle and verify that the vehicle identification number (VIN) is as stated, shows no sign of alteration, and that the vehicle has not been reported stolen. The owner completes Section 1 (owner and vehicle information) before arriving. Section 2 must be completed by Vermont law enforcement or the Vermont DMV. UVM Police Services officers are authorized to complete VIN verifications at our campus department located at 12 Centennial Woods Way, lower level. No appointment is necessary; walk-ins are welcome.  

Please Note: Because we are an emergency response department, officer availability may vary depending on call volume, so there may be a short wait. 

Reasons a VIN Verification May Be Required:

• The vehicle has a salvage title or salvage documentation from any state 

• The vehicle is being titled under bond 

• The vehicle is registered in a foreign country, including Canada 

A vehicle does not need a VIN verification solely because it was previously registered in another state. 

What to Bring 

• The vehicle to be verified 

• Valid photo ID 

• VIN verification form or other DMV paperwork 

There is no fee for this service. For questions, call UVM Police Services dispatch at 802-656-3473.
