Great experience super nice people

Yikes boy. Showed up to transfer a registration at 2PM (They close at 5). Was told they no longer would accept walk ins at max capacity. Complete joke and waste of time. Avoid this rmv save the trouble and go to Fall River or plymouth

I don't know how much they pay these people who work there but if it's anything more that 10 bucks a year they are severely over paid. They are extremely rude to everyone and refuse to help ypu for anything. I wish them and their families nothing but the worst

Went here twice. There was about a 30 minute wait both times despite having an appointment but that's expected. It's clean with ample seating inside. The guy at the door was helpful and I overheard him helping several people through the process of checking in and what to do. The worker herself was also kind despite some confusion on my end over requisites. Everyone has been friendly and no one has showed me any impatience.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Midknight Mechanics | Sep 27, 2021

Nope. BUT, you can cancel those plates online, right from their website from the comfort of your home. Then, they just want you to bend the plates in half over and over until they start to rip, or cut them in half with your garden shears and throw them in your recycle bin.

Can you register a new car at AAA Office in Dennis, MA

Joe Vee | Sep 27, 2021
Midknight Mechanics | Sep 27, 2021

Dennis that depends if you are doing a plate transfer, or getting a new registration (and new plates). New plates, AAA can not do. And transfers- AAA can only do a plate transfer if you bought the vehicle from a private party.

My license is due in October. Has that been extended?

Paula Roberts | Sep 27, 2020
Eddie | Sep 27, 2020

I pulled this, straight from their website. Doesn't show October, but if their extending every other month, I would think so. I would try to call the rmv to make sure. Good luck Driver's Licenses and IDs 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 specific expiration date typically coincides with an individual’s birth date. Customers holding an RMV credential marked “Limited-Term” that has expired or will expire between March 1 and August 31, 2020 should refer to section below. The RMV is not providing updated credentials to reflect the extended date.

I am trying to cancel auto plates. They keep sending my access code to an invalid email address..but I cannot reach the DMV by phone. There is no text messaging option. So...how do I correct the email info that is obviously wrong?

G G | Sep 27, 2020

I believe if you set up a DMV account and profile, and sign in you can edit email address. Good luck.

What telephone number does one call to make an appointment>

Leslie Erwin | Sep 27, 2021
Patrick Harriman | Sep 27, 2021

First I had to fill out the service center form for what I needed (license, registration etc) and print a copy. Then online made an appointment on an open day and time. When you get there(near your scheduled time) there's an officer at the door, they will have you scan a qr code with your cell phone camera. The qr code links you to the rmv and places you in line to enter the building. While waiting in your car will you will receive a text when you can enter. Show the officer at the door the text and they will let you in.

Unfortunately, to do anything at the registry right now, due to the virus. You have to setup an appointment online. Then go down at the day and time they give you, and wait in line til your called. However registering a new vehicle might be a little different then everything else. I would give them a call, or look on the website
