As life begins to feel more “real” – it is time to take care of some important items – like your expired driver’s license and/or registration. But is it time to take a trip to the RMV?
Luckily, the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles has extended license renewal dates to the following:
- Driver’s licenses and ID cards that expired or will expire in March, April, and May 2020, will now expire in September 2020.
- Driver’s licenses and ID cards that will expire in June have been extended until October 2020.
- Driver’s licenses and ID cards that will expire in July have been extended until November 2020.
- Driver’s licenses and ID cards that will expire in August have been extended until December 2020.
The MA RMV still remains closed to the public for all non essential transactions.
Examples of “essential” transactions:
- Obtaining a commercial driver’s license or commercial learner’s permit to assist with the supply chain during the State of Emergency declaration
- All first-time registrations (new plates and transfer plates) and registration reactivations
- Transferring your license or registration from another state for residency requirements
You are required to make an appointment online to complete any “essential” transaction.
Examples of “non-essential” transactions:
- Obtaining a REAL ID, unless part of a new Mass ID issuance or out of state transfer of a driver’s license/ID
- Any transaction that can be completed online or by mail
Commercial Driver’s Licenses and Commercial Learner’s Permits
All Massachusetts commercial driver licenses (CDLs) and commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) with an expiration date between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020, have been extended.
- CDLs and CLPs that expired or will expire in March, April, and May 2020, will now expire in September 2020 and do not need to be renewed at this time.
- CDLs and CLPs that will expire in June have been extended until October 2020
- CDLs and CLPs that will expire in July have been extended until November 2020
- CDLs and CLPs that will expire in August have been extended until December 2020
Note: This does not apply to any commercial driver or permit holder whose privileges were suspended or revoked for traffic offenses.
If you would like to take a commercial learner’s permit, the Milford and Wilmington Service Centers are open to exclusively serve commercial drivers.
