Is it still by appointment only at the DMV??

Yes. Appointments are made online at www.dmv.ri.gov

My RI License was stolen, how do I get my Rhode Driver's License number, to apply for a new one online, my purse was stolen also, with other documents, and I need a replacement Birth Certificate, can I make an appointment to get a black and white photo copy of my last, RI Driver's License to have a copy of it, for the RI Driver's License, to get other important document replacements, because of Stolen Identities?

As far as I know. The website is helpful for general questions.

Yes, but you can mail some forms like licence renewals . Check on line at R.Idmv.gov
