Warning of Unofficial Websites Mimicking the Massachusetts RMV Website Massachusetts residents looking for the RMV (Registry of Motor Vehicles) website or trying to do RMV transactions online should make sure they are using the “official” RMV website at: http://www.massrmv.com Several similar-looking, third-party websites, not connected with the RMV, have fooled RMV customers by seeming to offer RMV services and/or RMV information. These “mimic” sites are often reached by customers using online search engines. DO NOT BE FOOLED! RMV customers should be extra careful and avoid any “mimic” websites that charge fees to perform RMV services online or to provide basic RMV information or forms. Some of these websites may even contain printed disclaimers of a connection to the RMV on their site. It is also smart to avoid any site that uses the phrase “Department of Motor Vehicles” or the letters “DMV”. That phrase and the abbreviation “DMV” are NOT used in relation to the Registry of Motor Vehicles in Massachusetts. Remember: http://www.massrmv.com If you rely on any driver license or motor vehicle-related information these websites provide, access any services they claim to offer, or pay a fee to them for an alleged “service” (whether online or by mail), you are doing so at your own peril. The information they provide may not be correct and your personal and financial information may not be safe in the hands of the operators of these “mimic” websites. The RMV is proud of the fact that its customers can perform at least 35 different transactions safely and securely on the “official” RMV website and can also obtain much invaluable “free” information. For example, all of the information from the current RMV “Driver’s <strong>Manual</strong>” is available for free (a $5 value) just by clicking on and opening the online version from “Forms and <strong>Manual</strong>s” rather than buying a copy. And, the RMV’s “site policies” (located at the bottom of RMV web pages) explain how the RMV uses and protects your personal and financial information when you provide it to the RMV. Please note that the RMV cannot be responsible for the content or actions taken by third-party “mimic” websites. 151
