Reply to comment by Wtf_is_this1234 in MA RMV Service Center advice by Boston2024

Thanks for replying. I'm a college student, so my permanent residence is another state. I looked up out-of-state license and registering car in MA. It is allowed, but hopefully it works. I have a MA insurance policy for this car. Just looking feedback on walk-ins at RMV locations. Seems like it can take hours in certain locations, or walk-ins are turned away.

You are trying to do something that's very unusual.

If you are truly a resident elsewhere and a full time college student, you can and should just register your car in your home state. If your goal is to get an MA registration to get a RESIDENT parking permit, they're going to expect you to get an MA license too.

Thanks, can't do that because my state on West coast requires car to be present for registration - DMV checks the VIN and the odometer in person. BUT, I just got out of the Watertown RMV, showed up early, and 1 1/2 hours I have plates. No question or issue w my OOS license. Thanks for the help!
