Further Extensions Implemented at Registry of Motor Vehicles

Further Extensions Implemented for Expiring Licenses, Permits, Motor Vehicle Inspection Stickers, and Passenger Plate Registrations

The Massachusetts RMV has implemented further extensions for expiring motor vehicle inspection stickers, passenger plate registrations, professional credentials, and licenses and permits, including Commercial Driver’s Licenses and Permits (CDLs / CLPs). While 60-day extensions had already been implemented for most credentials, passenger plate registrations, and inspection stickers expired or expiring in March and April, this new action will apply the same 60-day extension to those expiring in May. Additionally, credentials expiring in March 2020 that previously were extended by 60 days will have an additional 60-day extension applied. The following new changes are now effective: All commercial and non-commercial driver’s licenses, ID cards, and Learner’s Permits that expire in May 2020 will now expire in July 2020 and do not need to be renewed at this time. Customers holding a license marked “Limited-Term” that has expired or will expire between March 1 and May 31, 2020 should visit Mass.Gov/RMV for more information and to check the validity of their credential. The RMV also recently introduced an online renewal option for CDL holders if they are self-certified in the Non-Excepted Interstate (NI) category for medical certification. In accordance with updated guidance from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), all CDL Medical Certificates expiring between March 1 and April 30, 2020 will not expire until June 30, 2020 and do not need to be renewed at this time. Extensions to CDL Medical Certificates are intended to prevent license downgrades and elective medical visits, as well as alleviate demand on medical providers, during the State of Emergency. Motor vehicle safety and emissions inspection stickers that expire on May 31, 2020 will now expire on July 31, 2020. While automotive repair and maintenance facilities continue to remain open as “essential services” and inspection stations may operate at their discretion, these annual inspections do not need to occur at this time. All passenger plate registrations that will expire in May 2020, will now expire in July 2020. Registration renewals can continue to be performed online at Mass.Gov/RMV during this time. Customers seeking to do so in-person will not be able to make an appointment and should delay their visit to a Service Center at this time. Professional credentials for School Bus Certificates, School Pupil Transport Licenses (7D), Inspector Licenses, Inspection Station Licenses, Driving Instructor Licenses and Driving School Licenses that expire in May 2020 will be extended for 90 days after the State of Emergency is lifted and do not need to be renewed at this time. These additional extenstions under Governor Charlie Baker's declaration of a State of Emergency on March 10 replicate the ongoing measures the RMV is taking to reduce the need for customers to physically visit an RMV Service Center or one of its business partners' facilities, allowing for social distancing by decreasing non-essential travel and customer volume. Below is a summary of newly announced (in bold) and existing extensions.  align=center class=mcnImage> Details on all of these extensions and additional information on RMV services and the RMV’s response to COVID-19 can be found here.

TOWN UPDATE 4/15/2020 - REPORTING HULL'S NUMBERS

TOWN UPDATE

April 15, 2020

REPORTING HULL’S NUMBERS

The Mass Department of Public Health (MADPH) will be updating their website every Wednesday evening with a case count for each city and town in the Commonwealth.  MADPH collects information from public and private medical sources to create their statistical reports.  Cities and Town’s do not have access to all the source data used by MADPH to create their reports.  Cities and Towns do not generate their own reports.  MADPH is the sole agency responsible for generating, maintaining and reporting the statewide official statistics on Covid-19’s impact on the Commonwealth. 

Although some residents have been critical of the Town for not reporting Hull’s statistics, the Town has adhered to MADPH’s request made to all cities and Towns, to not independently report local community statistical reports that were created by MADPH.  While some towns chose not to follow this recommendation Hull as well as many other communities, respected this request.  This was done because the statistics were not generated by local public health officials and MADPH, the source of the statistics, requested that they not disseminated.   

We continue to believe that the authoritative source for reports on Covid-19 is MADPH, who now feels there is a large enough statewide data base to begin releasing information on local impacts as well as on a county basis. Any resident that is interested in this information can visit the Mass Department of Public Health’s web site located at:   https://www.mass.gov/orgs/department-of-public-health

Town Manager

Update from Registry of Motor Vehicles 04/13/2020

PROFESSIONAL AND PASSENGER LICENSE DEADLINE EXTENSIONS AND ONLINE CDL RENEWAL OPTION The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) continues to thoroughly review its licensing protocols and credential requirements to identify and implement additional measures to reduce non-essential travel, reduce the need for customers to visit an RMV Service Center, and ensure proper “social-distancing” for business partners and Massachusetts residents.

These credentials are considered “active” as the RMV implements system changes to reflect that status in the near future Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) holders are now able to renew their licenses online if they are self-certified in the Non-Excepted Interstate (NI) category for medical certification. All passenger and motorcycle road tests (Class D and Class M) have been cancelled through Monday, May 4, 2020. The Milford and Wilmington RMV Service Centers are open exclusively to perform commercial transactions; reservations are now available and walk-ins are still accepted.

Customers holding a license or ID marked “Limited-Term” that expired between March 1 and April 30 should visit Mass.Gov/RMVfor more information and to check the validity of their credential. CDL Medical Certificates that expire on or after March 1 until April 30 will be extended until June 30 to prevent license downgrades and elective medical visits, as well as alleviate demand on medical providers.  The RMV has implemented a strict no walk-in policy at a limited number of Service Centers that remain open to the general public. Service for necessary in-person transactions are available by appointment only. Customers should visit Mass.Gov/RMVto make a reservation at an open Service Center or find information on over 40 transactions that can be conducted online, by phone, or by mail. Non-Classroom Drivers Education. Through a temporary policy, the RMV is allowing driving schools to offer online driver education training and written testing during this emergency period only. The RMV will continuously monitor the current emergency and will keep you informed about the timeframe in which driving schools can offer alternative training. All passenger plate registrations that have expired in March or will be expiring in April have been extended for 60 days. Registrations that expired in March have been extended until May 31 and registrations that expire in April have been extended until June 30. Registration renewals can continue to be performed online at Mass.Gov/RMVduring this time. Customers will not be able to make an appointment to renew passenger registrations at a Service Center at this time. The annual motor vehicle safety and emissions inspection stickers that expire on March 31 and April 30 have been extended 60 days and all motorcycles with inspection stickers originally set to expire on May 31 must be inspected by June 30. The RMV is also extending the time during which newly registered vehicles must be inspected based on the purchase date.

Commercial Learner’s Permit tests can be taken at the Milford and Wilmington RMV Service Centers during normal business hours. Massachusetts State Police are still conducting road tests for Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs), but require anyone taking these road tests to bring and wear a mask or face covering for the entirety of the test.

The RMV has temporarily approved an alternative way to deliver the statutorily required content in the form of an online course. For a limited time, participation in the online course will fulfill the in-person class requirement.
