Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicle Updates – July 7th

We’re all doing the best we can to adjust to these trying times.  The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles has re-opened a few of their branches by appointment only, no walk ins are allowed. The majority of the branches are still closed.  However, Sterling Insurance Agency is still able to offer free registry running service, which is the fastest way in the state to get anything processed at the RMV.  We are pleased that we are still able to offer this service to our clients, as the majority of the general public needs to wait weeks for their scheduled appointment.  The good news for those on the North Shore, the Danvers Registry is now open for appointments!  The other closer options in our area are Lawrence and Boston (Haymarket).  As of 7/7/20, here are the branches that are open by appointments and working in some capacity:
