The white guy with the hairline and tattoo eyebrows was an awful instructor. Was constantly yelling at me for looking at my blind spots when i did, he wasn’t even paying attention. Had an attitude before he even got in the car.

It was frustrating because at my last appointment I was told I could just come in with a document I needed to present today I was not allowed in because I did not have an appointment.

We had a 9:00 appt for my son to get his license. We were done by 9:15. There was no waiting and the driving instructor lady was super nice and polite. It was a great experience.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

What are the hours?

Joan Dyer | Sep 13, 2018
Nugget The Beagle | Sep 13, 2018

Hours are posted Monday - Friday 9am-5pm...I'm not sure if this question was asked before they posted the hours or if you're looking for hours for something else specifically...maybe hours for when they do road tests??? I hope you've gotten your needed info by now it's been 8 months & that's crazy nobody could help you sooner! Sorry I never got a notification & 2 many people ignore them when they do get them or the people that might work at the place were there's a question posted never look & they're the 1s with the best most accurate answers! This system could work if more people participated...Good Luck!

I need an ID replacement card can I go in to the Dmv and get it

QU33N KAREN RANDALL | Sep 12, 2021
Brandi Charron | Sep 12, 2021

If you go online to the RMV website it will give you options of what you're trying to do so once you go on there find the option of an ID replacement and it will set you up with an appointment but you will be able to pick the time and day. You can even pay online on the website which I found to be a lot easier because it's already all set

Do you need a license in mass to drive a 49cc scooter

Kevin McCaffrey | Sep 13, 2019
EastCoast Sneakerhead | Sep 12, 2020

No just a permit if you are under 18 and need to get plates (cost $40)

Failed inspection Also need new plates that I thought I ordered from rmv gave them money. When will my new plates come in? That’s the only thing holding me up. Plus I need new emissions system. Can’t do one with out the other? Help me

mode C | Sep 13, 2019
Nugget The Beagle | Sep 13, 2019

What do you mean "ordered from rmv" when referring to ordering new plates? Did you send them money to renew your registration? Do you have an active registration & just don't have plates yet to drive? I'm confused because I've always gone in person to pay for my plates. When it comes to ordering specialty plates, I assumed you wouldn't have to turn in your standard MA registration plates until the specialty plates came in & you were notified to go to the RMV to pick them up. FYI: This isn't the RMV official website that gets these questions. It's only a Google website for any user to contribute to. Your question is usually sent as a notification to other users that might've written reviews on the place in question & other users that happen to also look up the info in Google can view & answer any question if they want whenever they happen to see it as well. So don't be surprised if you're still getting answers 2 years from now if you leave it up... just an FYI Wish I could help more???

Is Taunton registry open to the public for new registration or do I need an appointment

peter kearney | Sep 12, 2021
Craig Bonin | Sep 12, 2021

@Peter Kearney the Taunton RMV is more or less a drop-off center where the parking lot has been turned into the waiting room. It's actually not so bad! The wait times are much quicker than pre-pandemic days which I thought was a little odd, but neat nonetheless. Long and the short - just go. You will likely get the services you seek.

How do I return plates and unregister my car

Annetta Smith | Sep 12, 2021
Maria Conlon | Sep 12, 2021

You can cancel your registration online at Mass.Gov/RMV. Once you cancel your registration, your car/truck cannot be driven on any public way in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. When your registration is canceled, the RMV will provide you with a registration cancellation receipt. Once your registration is canceled, you must recycle or destroy your license plates. Plates can be cut in half and discarded; or you can recycle destroyed plates if your town accepts them at the local recycle center.

What is the wait time for registration? Is it 3 weeks or is it 10?

Nick | Sep 12, 2021
gina k | Sep 12, 2021

The quickest way, is to call your auto insurance carrier, tell them you need them to send you the completed title and registration application. Next, make sure you have an appointment at the RMV to register and title your car. Make sure you have followed the checklist from the RMV site. Bring all documents and money for the title, registration and excise tax. Chances are you'll walk out with your new plates. The new registration will come in the mail in 10 to 14 days. Good Luck!n

Nugget The Beagle | Sep 13, 2018

Online I found this info: Credit & debit cards, cash, check, & money orders accepted for all transactions: License & ID, Registration & title, sales tax, citations, Suspensions/Reinstatement fees. MAKE CHECKS PAYABLE TO: MassDOT My personal experience cash has always been my choice of payment used in person at the RMV. If you're a AAA member, they offer some services at certain branches. A lot of things can be completed online or started online & completed in the local RMV branch *(some things require you to print out a form you may have started already online). I recently used AAA for renewing my registration services. As of the March 2018 there's a new fee schedule for the RMV that can be found online & downloaded in PDF format. They've changed the Driver's License; at this time you can choose the Standard Driver's License or get a "Real ID" which is required as of 10/01/2020 to fly or enter a federal building (requires extra documentation & has to be done in person). Good luck!🤞
