Registry Upgrade to Interrupt MassRMV Website on Sunday

By Michael Bednarsky

MassRMV.com transactions and 857-DOT-8000 transactions will be unavailable on Sunday, Aug. 17 during scheduled maintenance of the RMV’s automated licensing and registration system.

The outage is scheduled to begin at 3:30 a.m. on Sunday and extend into Sunday afternoon.

When accessing the RMV online, customers are reminded that deceptive and mimic websites have been created to mislead customers into thinking they have reached the official RMV website. These mimic sites typically reference the ‘Department of Motor Vehicles’ or the ‘DMV’. The word ‘Department’ and the ‘DMV’ abbreviation are NOT used in Massachusetts.

Registry customers should avoid any sites seeking to charge fees to receive basic information or forms, as well as websites offering to conduct business online for you. Registry of Motor Vehicles fees charged through MassRMV are only assessed for transactions that result in official credentials, records or reports, as well as when the customer requests a road test appointment.

Visiting MassRMV.com will guarantee your transaction is complete and your personal information is secure. Check the website for the latest information.
