Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles Announces Temporary Closure On March 23, 24, 25 During System Upgrade

The RMV will shut down for a couple of days while we upgrade our computer system. We’ll close at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 22 and reopen at 8 a.m. on Monday, March 26.

During this time, all RMV Service Centers, the RMV’s website, and all RMV services will be unavailable. Law enforcement isn’t affected by the shutdown and will continue to have access to RMV data at all times.

Services that will be temporarily unavailable

Here is a list of services that will be unavailable during this time:

RMV Service Centers
RMV transactions at AAA offices
RMV transactions online at MassRMV.com or Mass.gov/RMV
Vehicle inspections at inspection stations
Car registrations or vehicle inspections at car dealerships

All RMV services will come back online at 8 a.m. on March 26.

Our new system will give you an easier, quicker, and more convenient experience with the RMV online, in person, by mail, and by phone. RMV partners, like law enforcement, the insurance industry, municipalities, and others will have more modern ways to do business with the RMV too.

We’re very sorry for the inconvenience, but look forward to delivering you a better experience!
