So I have to go to the dreadful RMV and make the
official transition from New Hampshire-ite to MassHole
and have a question.

According to the RMV website it says that my driver's license
endorsement will transfer w/o a test but don't see anything
pertaining to a motorcycle endorsement.

Am I going to have to retake my test? Anyone? Bueler?

[BostonSVkid]

NO the MC license will transfer as well.

[Frankenstein]

It's an extra $10 and as svkid said, no test.

[KillBill]

Sweet!

Thanks guys.

Just make sure as f*ckin hell you have a huge pile of utility bills and other stuff to prove your residence.

And as always save some non-MA ID that positively identifies you. (Passport, etc..) If you ever move back to NH or some other states you will need it.

It is a funny thing.. Homeland security and the feds are no longer going to recognize NH drivers licenses as IDs because we are not submitting to "Real ID".

And at the same time NH does not recognize MA IDs because they get in the hands of illegal aliens too easily... and yet the MA ID is accepted by the feds because they agreed to the "Real ID" program...

Quick note: If you do need to go to the registry in MA, the one in Lawrence has been lightning-fast every time I've had to go there. I got my new bike registered and picked up plates on Tuesday, and I was in there less than 5 minutes. I showed up around 11 in the morning.

.2c.

Anyone know if this applies to CA licenses as well?

how about registration, is it easy to get new plates for my bike. I am thinking of riding with CA plates until they expire next year, but am worried this will make me a LEO target

DMV.ORG - The Unofficial Guide to the DMV is a repository of information about all BMVs from every state. usually it has answers to a lot of the questions you have. i, too, am dealing with state to state issues so i know how unhelpful the actual RMV/DMV/BMV websites can be.

That is one of the reasons I am looking to get this done sooner rather than later.

I'm flying out to CA in a month and need to have a license that is accepted by all airports.

CQ - I've also had good luck in Lawrence in the past. I've been told to avoid Worcester like the plague.

Wilmington has a new RMV... lightening fast as well. I've had iffy luck with lawrence in the past.

If you go to the RMV website it will list the wait times for all the branches. Definitely check before you go!
