Vermont Advance Directive Registry
Storing digital copies of Vermont Advance Directives for access by health care facilities and hospitals since 2007
The Vermont Advance Directive Registry (VADR) is a secure online database where Vermonters can submit copies of their completed advance directive documents to be accessed by authorized health care facilities and providers when needed. Hospitals in Vermont are required to check the VADR for a copy of your advance directive if you arrive at the hospital and cannot speak for yourself.
How to Register
Create your account and add your document online with user upload, or send your document to the Vermont Ethics Network via mail, fax, or email and we will register your directive for you.
