Used to work at the Registry.

  1. Surrendering your out of state reg means you turn over your registration, which will be cancelled in whatever state you’re from upon registering your car in MA. Registration means plates and actual registration card. Bring your registration and plates from state 1. Don’t even acknowledge the state 2 stuff when you go, you’ll just be over complicating.

  2. Bring your current registration that matches the plates on your car. Again, I wouldn’t go out of my way to tell anyone you lived in another state and didn’t register there - it’ll just confuse everyone and someone will find a way to overcomplicate everything. If you don’t have a copy of your registration, get a dupe.

Edit: Talk to your insurance company before you go; you’re going to need a current insurance stamp and an RMV-1 form (or whatever the new version of it is called). Basically, you need a completed application with your insurance company’s blessing in writing, on the form.
