Great service at the Plymouth Registry
Thursday, April 16, 2009 at 1:02PM The Registry…
You have all heard it more then once. You are with some of your friends and someone mentions that they have bought a new car or they need to get there license renewed and they have to go the RMV, and it starts. You better bring a sleeping bag or a copy of War and Peace because you will not only spend hours at the Registry, you will be forced to endure endless abuse by the registry clerks. Well, I beg to differ….
I recently spent some time at the Plymouth registry and on more then one occasion my time spent there was not only measured in minutes, but everyone I dealt with was courteous and helpful. I find the registry an amazing place.
When you step back and think about all the information they manage, the people and cars they have to keep track of, you have to give them credit.
In addition, the age of automation has truly revolutionized the RMV. Back in the day it wasn’t unusual to spend two or three hours trying to get something done at the RMV, but today it is a walk in the park.
Ok I agree there can be times when your patience and frustration level is tested at the RMV or any State or Government agency for that matter, but those moments are mostly due to arriving with the wrong documents or information.
If you show up with the correct information, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish.
Here are a few tips to help you at the RMV
1. Use the RMV’s website http://www.mass.gov/rmv/index.htm. It site is loaded with information like; Branch Locations, Wait Times at each branch, Forms, FAQ’s on many commonly asked questions
2. Make sure you really have to physically go. There are many time when you can take care of things like name changes or registration renewals on the website or over the phone.
3. Deal with a qualified and knowledgably Insurance Agent and check with that person first before you go to make sure you have what you need.
A few minuets spent on the RMV’s website or with your Insurance Agent will make all the difference in the world. Good Luck!
