Mass. RMV iPhone App. Released

Tired of waiting in long lines at the Registry? You can now get Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles wait time information on your iPhone, for free. By using a new iPhone App., you can plan your trip to the Mass. RMV to minimize your time in line. Other apps. allow you to find the nearest MBTA Station and view schedules.  These new applications are a prime example of using technology to make life easier. The RMV app. allows you to select a particular Mass. Registry Branch and it will display wait times for both license and registration-related RMV transactions.  You can download the app. from the App. Store on your iPhone. This app. is very useful for routine Registry transactions. However, it will not tell you how long you have to wait to see a Registry Hearings Officer. At the RMV in Boston, for example, the Driver Control Unit (DCU) has a separate waiting area which is not monitored by the current system. The RMV DCU handles license suspensions, hardship license hearings, and chemical test refusal hearings.
