In Massachusetts, the Registry of Motor Vehicles may place a “hold” on a person’s driver’s license. If the Massachusetts RMV places a hold on a license, the driver will be unable to renew his or her license in their home state until the hold is cleared.
Often times the license hold does not appear until well after the incident occurred. For example, a person may have an outstanding case in Massachusetts from 15 years ago, yet was just now told by the DMV in their home state that they cannot get a license until the Massachusetts hold is cleared.
Reasons for a License Hold in Massachusetts
The Massachusetts RMV may place a hold on a driver’s license for a number of reasons. Some of the more common situations resulting in a license suspension hold include:
- Unpaid Tickets
- Open Court Cases
- Unpaid Fees
- Outstanding Warrants
- Old Speeding Tickets
- Other Outstanding Issues
At Caselden Law, our firm has successfully handed hundreds of cases involving license suspension issues in Massachusetts. We will quickly evaluate your situation in order to get to the bottom of the license hold and develop a clear strategy to fix the issue. If the hold is a result of an open case or a warrant, our firm will file Motions in the applicable courthouse in order to close the case and recall the warrant.
Out-of-State Drivers with Massachusetts License Holds
One of the more frustrating situations arise when a person living in another state learns that they cannot obtain a license in their home state as a result of a Massachusetts RMV hold.
When dealing with an RMV License Hold while residing out of state, it is often in one’s best interests to hire a local Boston RMV Attorney to resolve the matter on their behalf.
Given that our client’s local DMV will not issue a license until the Massachusetts License Suspension Hold is removed, our firm works diligently to clear the hold as soon as possible in order to get our clients back on the road.
