BOSTON — After a year and a half of headaches and long waits for appointments across the state, the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles resumed offering some services that were put on hold.

The agency said twenty-one locations will offer in-person appointments for vehicle and driver services, walk-in visits, and business-to-business transactions, which includes bulk transactions for auto dealers and insurance agents.

The agency still recommends scheduling an appointment, as some customers without appointments may have to either wait until assistance can be offered or return to a center on another date.
