Don't Count on the RMV to Send Reminders

The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles no longer mails out license renewal notices.

It is your responsibility to know when your driver's license expires. Check the expiration date on your license and set up a reminder for yourself.

If you forget to renew your license and get pulled over, it is a criminal offense. Your vehicle can be impounded; you will have court costs, fines and surcharges. Be sure to renew your driver’s license at least seven days before your birthday to guarantee that you receive your new license before your old license expires.

Driving on an expired license is considered "unlicensed operation" and is an arrestable offense.

You can do many registry activities online at http://www.mass.gov/rmv/express/index.htm.
