We had a great experience at this location thanks to Shelly and the manager (didn't catch her name). Thank you so much! We appreciate all of your help!

Efficient and pleasant to work with. Ready set up on line to reserve a spot, we were taken early to renew a license. Five minutes is all it took with the paperwork filled out on line.

The level of service at our registry is at an all time low. Not only are the hours limited, the services limited and you need an appointment to go there, there is an unwritten rule that every customer needs to come back a minimum of 3 times to satisfy the paperwork. They "didn't like" the date on a loan contract for paperwork. I guess it can't be more than 60 days old. The expired license due to COVID (renewed in April) is no longer any good - the reason for the visit. You make another date and they find another document they don't like. Something has to be done.... this is not right.....

I had excellent service, when I went in to do my road test. The examiner was professional, kind and even stayed to chat with me for a little while after the test. I have no complaints and for something that can be very stressful, the examiner made me feel confident and calm throughout the test. Thank you to the examiner today and I highly recommend this place to take your road test or if you need anything else road related. Good Luck and safe driving!

Need new plates to pass inspection.. Is there a cost

Cheryl Hickman | Sep 9, 2018
Jake arms | Sep 9, 2019

If you are exchanging old plates for new like the old MA green letters for new red ones, then no. If you are missing plates, and just need new ones then there is a cost.

If you mean a real ID drivers license you'll need a certified birth certificate or valid U.S. passport, SS card or W2/1099 and 2 proofs of your current Mass. address such as electric bill, cable bill, cell phone etc etc. Those bill have to be within the last 60 days.

I would like to exchange my NJ license for an MA license. I have all the documents I need (according to the website). Can I do to any RMV office regardless of where I live in MA. Do I need to call and make an appointment? Many thanks!

Joe Smith | Sep 8, 2021
Barry Hanson | Sep 8, 2021

You need to make an appointment, but if you go to the registry in chickapee ma you can get it done the same day, they will take your documents and call you when they are ready, it only took me 2 hours and then they called me. I just waited in the parking lot. But it was done that day. Hopefully this helps you out Barry.

Christina Hills | Sep 8, 2020
Jason Scott | Sep 8, 2020

If I'm not mistaken you have to compete a form stating you're not the plates owner in order to drop them off. If the plates are already cancelled by the owner you can just fold/break them and throw them away.

I just bought my lease and my inspection stick is still valid and they stated I needed to get my car re-inspected. I went to get it done and the guy at the Dealership said I didn't need to? Which is it?

Sarah Kelly | Sep 8, 2020
Jason Scott | Sep 8, 2020

By law, purchase/lease of a new vehicle requires a new safety/emission inspection and sticker. It is obviously only so Massachusetts can soak more money out of you but that is the requirement, especially if you changed plates. Your inspection sticker is specific to the license plate.

I recently lost my job. I have my registration due on 7/19/19. Is there any way we can move the due date up a couple of weeks?

Sonja Fahey | Sep 9, 2019
bill mansfield | Sep 9, 2019

In mass, registrations expire on the last day of the month. If the last number on the plate is a 7, and the sticker is a 19, your registration expires July 31, 2019

If I'm renewing my license is a passport sufficient for id.

Melissa Cutroni | Sep 9, 2019
Jason Scott | Sep 9, 2019

It depends what type on license you want to renew to. If you want the Govt really ID you'll need unexpired US passport, SS card or W2/1099 and 2 proofs of your current residence such as utility bill in the last 60 days, your unexpired license could be used for one if it has the correct address. If you just want a standard Massachusetts drivers license a passport is all you'll need, besides the application completed.

I need to renew my license, it doesn't expire until 7/9/19. i'm going to renew it next week, but am also on vacation. I wanted to know if the RMV takes your old license.once renewed my current one will be inactive.Paper copy isn't ideal for vaca.

Rachel Lopez | Sep 9, 2019
Jason Scott | Sep 9, 2019

They dont take the old one, you can keep that and you will be given a paper copy until the hard copy plastic one arrives in the mail
