The Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) is unfortunately very hard to work with. They are not very customer friendly and seem to operate under their own set of rules. Most recently the RMV has begun to routinely ignore valid Court orders to reinstate driver’s licenses and orders from the Board of Appeal.
Recently, Bowser Law stood up to the Registry of Motor Vehicles and sued them.
There was an issue that was affecting many of our clients who hold a New Hampshire drivers’ license. A New Hampshire resident often times losses their privilege to drive in Massachusetts under Melanie’s Law’s Lifetime Lookback provisions and their license is also be revoked by the New Hampshire DMV because they are listed in the National Drivers Registry (NDR) as suspended in Massachusetts. For many years, we would file a request with the Board of Appeal and the Board could grant hardship relief. The Board order would clear the out of state driver from the NDR. The New Hampshire resident could then go back to New Hampshire and get their license restored. If they file appropriate affidavits with the MA RMV, they are also relieved from installing an ignition interlock device as well.
