If you recently moved to Massachusetts from another state, here are a few tips for converting an out of state driver’s license to Massachusetts. The Commonwealth gives you 30 days to convert your license.
While you are unpacking your boxes, you may want to keep in mind some of the documents outlined below that you will need to convert your driver’s license. There is also a license application form to complete either on-line or printed before you go to the Registry of Motor vehicles.
You will need to make a visit to one of the Registry’s branch offices to complete the transaction and have your photo taken for your new Massachusetts license.
You may also be wondering if you can register your car in Massachusetts before you change your license. The answer is absolutely “yes”. Plate registration and auto insurance may be secured before you change your license but it is expected that you will convert your license in 30 days. Our agency www.agordon.com can assist with the vehicle registration paperwork, offers free runner service, and provides auto insurance options.
Here is information provided by the Registry outlining the documentation needed if you are 18 years or older with an out of state license. For a complete list of acceptable documents, click here.
