MASS. - The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) announced appointments for in-person transactions will continue, even as the State of Emergency is lifted on Tuesday.

Many of the RMV’s new initiatives that were put in place to provide additional flexibility for its customers during the COVID-19 pandemic, will continue.

The initiatives remaining in place include: senior citizen hours, suspension hearings by phone, learner’s permit tests online, use of state vehicles for road tests and everyone in the road test vehicle must wear a face covering regardless of vaccination status.

RMV customers will continue to be served by appointment-only at open service centers (including in Worcester and Pittsfield), and customers who are unvaccinated will be required to wear a face covering for in-person transactions.

The Chicopee RMV location is open for registration drop-off only.
