CT.gov is the official online gateway of the State of Connecticut. The portal provides access to information, forms, services, departments, agencies, public resources and online transactions for Connecticut residents, businesses, visitors and state employees.

The URL portal.ct.gov/ag is a specific sub-portal of CT.gov for the Office of the Attorney General of Connecticut. Therefore, this article covers both the statewide CT.gov portal and the Attorney General’s section separately.

What Is CT.gov?

CT.gov is not a private company, college, government department or individual office. It is the official digital entry point for the State of Connecticut.

The portal brings together links to:

State departments and agencies
Online applications and forms
Tax and payment services
Job openings
Elections and voting information
Transportation and DMV services
Health and human-services resources
Business registration and business assistance
Public records and government data
State parks, fishing and outdoor recreation information
Emergency-preparedness information

The official CT.gov disclaimer describes the CT.gov name and logo as identifying a single point of entry for official information, programmes and services provided online by the three branches of Connecticut state government. 1

History and Development

Connecticut has maintained an online state-government presence for many years. One significant modernization took place in 2015, when the State of Connecticut announced a redesigned official website intended to improve usability, customer service, transparency and online access.

The redesign introduced:

A more organised homepage
Mobile-friendly access
Topic-based sections for residents and businesses
More direct access to popular services
A dedicated business-portal concept
A phased plan for moving state-agency websites to a common format

The 2015 announcement described the portal as a virtual welcome point for residents, businesses and visitors and stated that the redesign was intended to reduce duplication and make government services easier to find. 2

Since then, Connecticut has continued developing topic-specific digital services such as:

These services may be hosted on separate subdomains or agency platforms but are linked through Connecticut’s official digital ecosystem.

Main Functions of CT.gov

1. Government Information

CT.gov provides official information about:

State laws and programmes
Government agencies
Public officials
Regulations and guidance
State news and press releases
Public meetings and announcements

2. Online State Services

The portal directs users to online services such as:

State job applications
Tax filing and tax payments
Vehicle registration and DMV services
Health-professional license verification
Business registration
Fishing and outdoor-recreation licences
Unemployment and employment services
Election and voter information
Public-benefit programmes

Many transactions are completed on an agency-specific website. CT.gov acts as the trusted starting point and navigation layer, while the relevant agency remains responsible for the transaction.

3. Department and Agency Directory

The Departments and Agencies directory includes Connecticut’s executive departments, constitutional offices, commissions, boards and other public agencies.

The directory includes links to offices such as:

Governor
Lieutenant Governor
Secretary of the State

Treasurer
Comptroller
Department of Administrative Services
Department of Public Health
Department of Transportation
Department of Revenue Services
Department of Motor Vehicles
Department of Social Services
Department of Energy and Environmental Protection
Department of Education
Department of Labor
Department of Housing
Department of Consumer Protection

The portal also links separately to the Connecticut Judicial Branch and the Connecticut General Assembly.

4. Directories and Public Contact Routes

The CT.gov Directories page provides:

An Ask a Question form
A CT.gov website survey
A state employee telephone directory
A list of departments and agencies
Links to CT 211
Federal, municipal and education directories

The Directories page is the most suitable general starting point when a resident is unsure which state agency handles a particular issue. 3

5. Accessibility and Inclusive Design

The CT.gov homepage includes accessibility tools such as:

High-contrast mode
Font-size controls
An accessibility-issue reporting link
Language translation through Google Translate

Connecticut also maintains an Accessibility in CT resource centre that provides guidance on web accessibility, testing, inclusive design and digital content.

The CT.gov content standards emphasise plain language, logical page structure, consistent design and accessibility. 4

How To Use CT.gov

A typical user journey is:

Visit portal.ct.gov.
Use the search bar or browse the “Most Popular” services.
Select the relevant department, service or programme.
Read the current instructions and eligibility requirements.
Use the official online form, payment system or agency contact details.
Save confirmation numbers, receipts and official correspondence.

For matters such as taxes, vehicle registration, professional licences or consumer complaints, users should contact the specific agency shown on the relevant page. CT.gov itself may not be able to resolve an agency-specific case.

portal.ct.gov/ag — Connecticut Attorney General’s Office

The URL portal.ct.gov/ag is the official CT.gov sub-portal of the Office of the Attorney General of Connecticut.

The Attorney General is the state’s chief civil legal officer. The office represents the State of Connecticut and the public interest in civil legal matters. It does not function as a private law firm for individual residents.

The current official leadership page lists William Tong as Connecticut’s Attorney General. The page states that he is the 25th Attorney General to serve Connecticut, first took office in 2019 and is serving his second term. 5

May offer informal mediation in some consumer matters
May refer complaints to another government agency
May be required to disclose correspondence under Connecticut’s Freedom of Information laws

Residents should use the relevant complaint or agency process rather than sending confidential legal documents through general email.

Official Social Media

CT.gov and Statewide Government Channels

CT.gov social-media directory

The State of Connecticut maintains a directory of social-media links for departments and agencies:

CT.gov Departments and Agencies Social Media

Because Connecticut agencies maintain their own public-information accounts, there is not necessarily one social-media account for every service on the CT.gov portal. 7

State of Connecticut on X

A Google-indexed X profile appears under:

X: @CTGOVERNMENT

The profile describes itself as the official website account of the State of Connecticut and links to ct.gov. It appears to have very limited activity and should not be treated as a customer-support channel. 8

Governor’s official social channels

Some CT.gov pages link to official Governor Ned Lamont channels for statewide executive-branch news:

These accounts provide Governor’s Office updates and are not a replacement for agency-specific support.

Attorney General’s Official Social Accounts

The Attorney General’s official portal links to the following accounts:

Facebook: CT Attorney General
X/Twitter: @AGWilliamTong
Instagram: @agwilliamtong
YouTube: @AGWilliamTong
LinkedIn: Office of the Connecticut Attorney General

The office’s recent press releases also identify @AGWilliamTong and the “CT Attorney General” Facebook page for public updates. 9

The Attorney General’s X profile describes itself as the official account of the Connecticut Attorney General’s Office. 10

Contact and Website Notes

Google search results may show different types of CT.gov information. The following distinctions are important.

1. CT.gov versus portal.ct.gov

CT.gov is commonly used as the public-facing name and short URL. The current official website is served through:

portal.ct.gov

Users should check that they are on a genuine ct.gov or portal.ct.gov address before entering personal or payment information.

2. No single CT.gov service helpline

Search results may display telephone numbers for particular agencies such as DMV, DRS, DPH, the Attorney General or the Department of Transportation. These are not general CT.gov helplines.

For portal-related questions, use the official Ask a Question form. For a department-specific issue, use that department’s own contact page.

3. Attorney General phone and fax discrepancies

Google-indexed Attorney General pages and directories commonly show:

General phone: 860-808-5318
Consumer Assistance Unit: 860-808-5420
Fax: 860-808-5387

The current AG contact page clearly lists the phone numbers and emails, but the fax number is not prominently displayed on that page. Therefore, 860-808-5387 should be treated as an older or directory-indexed fax detail and verified before use. The current official contact page is the primary source. 11

4. Older Attorney General addresses

Some older or third-party search results may show:

55 Elm Street, Hartford
P.O. Box 120, Hartford
Other historical office references

The current official AG contact page lists:

165 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106

This current official address should be preferred.

5. Third-party directories

Google may also display third-party listings for Connecticut government offices. These can contain:

Outdated addresses
Old fax numbers
Incorrect department classifications
Personal or review-based comments
Unofficial “customer-service” numbers

Use the relevant CT.gov agency page instead of relying on an online business directory.

Some Lesser-Known Facts About CT.gov

CT.gov represents more than the executive branch. Its official disclaimer describes the portal as an entry point for information from Connecticut’s executive, legislative and judicial branches.
The main portal is not the owner of every service. A tax, DMV, licensing or benefits issue is normally handled by the relevant agency.
The CT.gov Directories page has two separate feedback routes. Users can ask a portal question or complete a website survey.
The Attorney General page is a sub-portal, not a separate private website. It operates within the official portal.ct.gov government domain.
The AG’s Office does not generally provide private legal advice. Its principal role is representing the state and the public interest.
The current CT.gov portal includes accessibility controls. Users can activate high contrast and adjust font size from the site interface.
Google results can mix current and legacy URLs. Older agency pages and former website structures may continue appearing even after a department moves to a new CT.gov layout.
The official English version controls translation disputes. CT.gov provides Google Translate for convenience, but machine translation may not accurately reproduce legal or administrative language.
Emails and online submissions may become public records. The CT.gov privacy policy warns that correspondence sent to the state may be subject to disclosure under applicable law.
