This is just a heads up to everyone. Effective immediately the Registry of Motor Vehicles will no longer be mailing out License renewal applications or reminders to renew your driver’s license. It is now the drivers responsibility to know when their license is expiring and renew it on there own. This may be a surprise to all of you and it should be, there has been no public information sent out about these changes. Fortunately enough we received the info in one of our legal trade publications. This idea could change in the future but as of right now it’s a huge cost savings and they plan to run with it. Below is a blurb from the publications.
Mailings Eliminated
The RMV will no longer mail out the following materials to customers:
License renewal notices
Mass ID renewal notices
License reinstatement letters:
Letter sent to a licensed customer when his/her license is reinstated, provided that the license is still active
Letter sent to an unlicensed customer when his/her right to operate is reinstated
Registration reinstatement letters:
Letter sent to a person or corporation whose suspended registration has been reinstated
Letter sent to a person or corporation whose revoked registration has been reinstated
Vehicle Inspection reminder letters for vehicles that are overdue for inspection
Inspector license renewal notices
7D license renewal notices
Driver’s Education Certificates
Junior Operator Brochures for parents (still available in branches)
Change of address labels (customers can create their own)
I am just passing this along, my suggestion is to pull out your license and some how set suspense to yourself to make sure you renew it. This is just a heads up so that no one gets pulled over and car impounded because they didn’t realize they hadn’t renewed their license.
Also, if you or your passanger are caught without using your seatbelt you both will be given a ticket and it will go on both of your insurance. It will be a violation, and will effect your insurance going up.
