62.50 for a license

I was told that because i got a ID that i would have to do everything all over again for my license that i had for years! Is this true ?

Gina Tartaglia | Sep 19, 2018
Royalty Cruz | Sep 19, 2018

In that dnv , unlike any other i have been to , they make you jump through hoops to get what ever it is your going there for. If you had any other id , they would make you get paperwork about it stating you no longer have a different ID or License. It's really redicules and unnecessary. They would make you start all over again , especially if you already have one . But don't be discouraged. Keep going back and bring all paperwork, and comply untill you get what it is you went there for. Ive been there 6 times and i still was not able to get an ID . SO SAD.

The simple answer is to go to cranston before they open and stand in line. If you do this on a Monday you are most likely going to get very good treatment by any state employee working there. (Maybe that's why so many people do it)

If you give up your license because you can't pass the eye exam or they told you they wouldn't renew your license because you can't pass the eye exam, then you have to get a Drs. approval in writing that you can pass the eye exam and take it again before they will reinstate you

I don't want to worry you but, if the address on your Drivers License is different of your actual Residence address is possible that they have sent your Registration renewal to the address on your DL if, that is the case you have to go to DMV.

Maria Reyes | Sep 19, 2018
Ivan Cruz | Sep 19, 2018

Every motor vehicle registered and traveling on the streets of this state are all subject to taxation at the rate of 0.07%. I would suggest that you check with your State's Motor Vehicle registry for taxation rate. In Rhode Island the tax rate is 7 percent meaning $7.00 per hundred. So if you've paid lets say $500.00 for your Saab, the total amount for taxation will be $35.00.

No. If you fail to pay the registration fee, the registration will lapse and that alphanumeric combination will be returned to the list of available registrations for someone to choose. If you sell or give away your vehicle, and you no longer want the plates, you should make sure to cancel your registration, otherwise you will be assessed fines for failure to renew it and your vehicle will remain on your local tax rolls. If you do cancel the registration, you can fold or cut up the plates and put them in your recycling bin so that they cannot be stolen.

Ronald Dubois | Sep 18, 2021
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 18, 2021

Your family member needs to give you a gift letter stating both your names and addresses, the relationship between you, and the vehicle’s information (year, make, model, and VIN). If you are also keeping the vehicle’s current plates, he/she must give permission for you to do so in the letter. If the vehicle is 2001 or newer, you must have the title to the vehicle, signed over to you by your family member in the ‘transfer of owner’ section on the back of the title. Otherwise, you will need the previous registration. If the title is from out of state, you will also need a VIN check at your local police department. Your current RI license and insurance information will be needed at the time of registration. Gifts from immediate family members are considered sales tax exempt. Immediate family members are limited to mother, father, sister, brother, son, or daughter, including step family relationships. A gift letter from anyone else must be notarized.

If you are transferring the vehicle’s current plates to him, you must give permission to do so in the letter. If the vehicle is 2001 or newer, you must have the title to the vehicle, signed over to you by your family member in the ‘transfer of owner’ section on the back of the title. Otherwise, you will need the previous registration. He will need a RI license and insurance information to register the car. Gifts from immediate family members are considered sales tax exempt.

I payed my citation fee in Rhode Island. I live in MA . How long does it take for the mass rmv to receive that information so I can reinstate my license se?

Jan Digregorio | Sep 18, 2021
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 18, 2021

Jan, that's not something we can answer simply. It can take several weeks. First, it would depend on how/when you paid the fee -- and to which agency. If that agency were not the DMV, it would have to transmit that information to us. Typically, that's done electronically but not in every case. Then, it would depend on how long MA took to clear your record in the Commonwealth after we transmitted the clearance from out end. That's a question for the MA RMV.

Do they take debit cards or just cash?

You have to be persistent. Check the system early Monday morning, like 7am early. If no reservations are available for one location, try another. I started on a Friday and again on Saturday with nothing available. Didn't try on Sunday but did at around 7am Monday and was able to choose anytime two days after on Wednesday and Thursday. Keep trying. Good luck.

Do i have to go to 1 capital hill in prov to pay the sales tax on a vehicle i never registered in order to sell it?

Robert StAngelo | Sep 18, 2020
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 18, 2020

If you bought the car from a dealership, the staff should have collected the sales tax at that time and sent it to the state. That would be recorded on your bill of sale. If you purchased it in private sale, any sales tax would be due at the time of registration. You may sell an unregistered vehicle, the purchaser would submit this form, along with a bill of sale signed by you and the purchaser and pay the tax when he or she registers it. http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/taxation/Sales_Tax.pdf You would record income from the sale on your personal income tax return.

Use registered mail with a return receipt request. To request a plate cancellation receipt (Form TR-3), please include a postage paid, self-addressed envelope. Keep the cancellation receipt to avoid future property tax claims if your city or town neglects to remove you from their records.

Can I apply for clear title online? I have the one with lenders release.

Linda | Sep 18, 2020
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 18, 2020

Titles are processed at the DMV headquarters in Cranston. The application must be made in person. Rhode Island does not require a person to apply for a new title once the lien has been satisfied. RI only requires the lien to be released by your lien holder signing off on the title and/or providing you with a letter of lien release to attach to the title. You can only apply for a duplicate title if you are the owner listed on the original title. If you still have a lien on the vehicle, the lienholder can apply. If your title has a lienholder listed on it but you've paid off the loan, you will need an original lien release from the lienholder and present it with your application.

how do I transfer a registration from my son to me

David Papazian | Sep 18, 2020
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 18, 2020

You need to give your son a gift letter stating both your names and addresses, the relationship between you, and the vehicle’s information (year, make, model, and VIN). If he is keeping the vehicle’s current plates, you must give permission for him to do so in the letter. If the vehicle is 2001 or newer, you sign over the title to the vehicle, signed over to you by your family member in the ‘transfer of owner’ section on the back of the title. Otherwise, he will need the previous registration. If the title is from out of state, he will also need a VIN check at a RI police department. Your current RI license and insurance information will be needed at the time of registration. Gifts from immediate family members are considered sales tax exempt.

Or, you complete the Affidavit for Cancellation of Registration for Lost Plates, found here: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/registration/AffidavitCancellationRegistrationLostPlates.pdf For more details, see here: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/registrations/damaged/index.php

Is there a way to transfer plates within my family if the registration was lost when the car was totaled?

Michael Cotter | Sep 18, 2020
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 18, 2020

Yes. You will have a new registration form issued first. (See here for details: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/registrations/damaged/index.php) Then, you will need to have a gift letter stating both your names and addresses, the relationship between you, and the vehicle’s information (year, make, model, and VIN). If you are also keeping the vehicle’s current plates, he/she must give permission for you to do so in the letter. If the vehicle is 2001 or newer, you must have the title to the vehicle, signed over to you by your family member in the ‘transfer of owner’ section on the back of the title. Otherwise, you will need the previous registration. If the title is from out of state, you will also need a VIN check at your local police department. You will need your license and insurance information at the time of registration. Gifts from immediate family members are considered sales tax exempt.

Your need to write a gift letter gifting her/him the plates. "I, Lea Rockholz, gift to XX, the following plate: _____." She/He would then bring in that letter and their old Rhode Island license plates, (if they have them) and we will do a Plate Change transaction. The form that is needed is the TR-1 form (Title and Registration Application). This form can be downloaded from our website (www.dmv.ri.gov/forms/registration) http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/registration/TR-1.pdf Easy, quick and simple.

What do I need to replace a lost drivers licence

G Vandenhurk | Sep 19, 2019
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 19, 2019

A lost or damaged Rhode Island driver's license can be replaced at any AAA office (if you are a member.) Fill out this form and bring it with you: http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/forms/license/LI-1.pdf along with a document that proves your identity, such as a passport or birth certificate. (If you do not have either one AND you were born in Rhode Island, you can obtain a certified birth certificate at the Health Department window on the second floor of our Cranston office.) A duplicate license costs $27.50

HELP.........my inspection ran out 4/19, I got stopped by the police because my registration is cancelled. I didnt get any notices because I moved. How can I go inspect and register my car if I can't drive it? Any advice...☹😥🥺

Lydia Moniz | Sep 19, 2019
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 19, 2019

Lydia, you can get the registration suspension lifted prior to an inspection. You will have to come to the Cranston office -- by public transportation or private ride -- to pay the reinstatement fee of $252.50 and any other fees you may owe. You would then be given time to have the vehicle inspected. To speak to a hearing officer, you can make an appointment in our Adjudication Office. https://ridmvreservations.stonewallsolutions.com/

What is needed to transfer a car title

Donald Billion | Sep 19, 2019
Paul Grimaldi | Sep 19, 2019

Your family member needs to give you a gift letter stating both your names and addresses, the relationship between you, and the vehicle’s information (year, make, model, and VIN). If the vehicle is 2001 or newer, you must have the title to the vehicle, signed over to you by your family member in the ‘transfer of owner’ section on the back of the title. Otherwise, you will need the previous registration. If the title is from out of state, you will also need a VIN check at your local police department. You will need your current RI license and insurance information. Gifts from immediate family members are considered sales tax exempt. Immediate family members are limited to mother, father, sister, brother, son, or daughter, including step family relationships. If you have received a gift from a family member who is not considered immediate family, the gift letter will need to be notarized and you will need a signed Gift Affidavit.

What is restriction D in/outside mirrors

Stephen Hogan | Sep 19, 2019
Rhode Island DMV | Sep 19, 2019

This is a restriction placed on an individual’s license usually due to diminished vision or hearing loss. It requires that all vehicles operated by the individual be equipped with both inside and outside mirrors. By law, all vehicles are required to be equipped with a driver’s side rear-view mirror AND either a rear view mirror or a passenger’s side outside mirror or both. This restriction would prevent someone from operating a vehicle that was NOT equipped with a driver’s side mirror AND a rear-view mirror. Most newer vehicles are equipped from the factory with all three mirrors as standard equipment so it is usually not an issue, unless it is a vehicle with the rear view mirror obstructed (small box truck, etc.)

If you are keeping the vehicle’s current plates, the letter must state that. You will need the previous registration. Cars from out of state will need a VIN check at a police department. You'll need a current RI license and insurance.

You would most likely have to pay the reinstatement fee , but bring extra money just in case they want you to pay for a new one as well.

Where you were the co-signer after it was paid off the title would be in your name.

If the tags are in your name then you will have to sell her the vehicle. Best thing to do is to speak to her insurance company for the finer details

Michael Salgado | Sep 19, 2018
Carl Carlson | Sep 19, 2018

Yes, but if you purchased the car from out of state you have to get a VIN CHECK, if you bought the car from a dealership you are better off letting them register it for you. If it's a private sale you have to bring the bill of sales and title with you, proof of residency ALL of the proper paperwork filled out correctly

Zeb Mac | Sep 19, 2018
Carl Carlson | Sep 19, 2018

You are going to have to go to the DMV with the old plates and registrations fill out the paperwork for transfer of registration for each vehicle also bring the titles with you for each vehicle so they can be filed in your name and new ones issued to you. You will have to get a vin check with each vehicle which requires the title for each vehicle to make sure there are no liens on them and if money is owed such as tickets they will have to be paid before you can register them proof of insurance on each one, bring a couple of checks to pay the taxes and registration fees and bring plenty of patience because you will be there most of the day

My license from MA is expiring next week. I just moved here and need to get a new, RI license. Do I need to make a reservation? If so, there are no spots open until late June, and that won’t work if my license expires soon...What do I do?

Carl Carlson | Sep 19, 2018

No reservations required, just go to the DMV with the proper paperwork showing your new address, get a number at the information desk. I'm sure you will have to fill out the paperwork for a Rhode Island license, bring a blank check to pay for your new license and wait for your number to be called
