Reply to comment by PakkyT in RMV Register and Title Vehicle by Recent_Mode_2220

Appreciate the comment and input from folks! I do trust that they offered that earlier. My worst fear is walking in and then getting turned away. I read that for some people they made appointment at the RMV after not getting after waiting the whole day. I read the same thing on the mass.gov and was hoping they meant appointment wasn’t mandatory. I don’t think anyone likes to walk-in and wait hours on end unless they couldn’t get an appointment beforehand.

Just checked and if you have a AAA membership, they are still taking appointments. Might be worth it to get a basic membership for one year just for this if you don't already have one.

Thanks for the insight on that one! When I looked at the services offered from AAA, I don’t think they handle register/title a vehicle. I’ll call tomorrow just to double check though!

They do. That is where I took mine this part summer I mentioned. I actually had made an appointment with the RMV and then kept checking AAA. When an earlier appointment opened up I grabbed it and registered my car there. Then I cancelled my upcoming RMV appointment (no way I was going to cancel it until I knew I was all set with the AAA attempt).

Now that I am thinking about it more, I bought it from a private seller and was transferring the plates from another car so I didn't need plates. If you need plates, then maybe that is different with AAA, so yeah, you should check that.

Good luck!
