What does one need to register a car purchased from MA? Can one just go without making an appointment to the Woonsocket DMV ? It will be a transfer of plates already registered.

You need your title, have a VIN inspection down the street from the DMV, $20.00, proof of insurance, title notarized insurance notarized and check book with you Also Proof Of Residency

No u needvun check only one I know is prov but u can call police station and ask if there's one in Woonsocket

Also VIN check will cost you no more than $10.00

You need the title you also will need to fill out a form that says that you paid out of state sales tax or else you will made be made to pay Rhode Island state taxes well also you will need your title and you will need whatever it cost for your specific car and I think they take check. He will also need to do a VIN check which can be done at the police station in Woonsocket it's right across the street sort of anyway and you can walk in getting line and usually will be in line for a good hour to 3 hours so you'll have plenty of time to drive down to get your VIN check

To my knoledge if u live in RI and purchase a car in Mass you have to go get a VIN Check then u can register No appointment needed for DMV or VIN check
