MONTPELIER, Vt. -

Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos is announcing paperless licensing.

According to a press release, paperless licensing is coming soon to 45 professions and occupations regulated within the Secretary of State's Office of Professional Regulation (OPR).

Condos says, "Making this change will increase efficiency, reduce costs, prevent fraud and protect the environment, without sacrificing public protection."  

These changes will eliminate the need to print, stuff and mail approximately 20,000 licenses that are renewed each year.

The press release says that the paperless licensing initiative begins immediately with the Office's largest license renewal of registered nurses whose licenses are set to expire March 31.
