I would go with the DMV'S answer about the block
It's likely that you have a "block" on your registrations due to unpaid municipal excise taxes, lapsed insurance, or outstanding traffic tickets or toll charges. First, check with your local tax collector to ensure your up-to-date on your tax bills. Then, make sure your insurance did not lapse for more than 60 days at any time in the last year. If it did, please contact our Insurance Verification program here -- https://dmv.ri.gov/adjudications-suspensions/insurance-verification-program Your driving record can be accessed here -- https://dmv.ri.gov/adjudications-suspensions/adjudication-office/certified-driving-records
