The new RMV Reminder Service
 
The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles recently discontinued the practice of notifying drivers when their driver's license is about to expire.  The RMV has created a new free reminder service.  Because driver's licenses are valid for five years, it is going to be difficult to remember when it is time to renew them.
 
On your computer, go to  http://www.mass.gov/rmv/.  On the RMV's home page, under "Online Transactions - Express Lane" click on "RMV Reminder Service".  After entering your driver's license number, your date of birth and your zip code, You will be sent to another web site sponsored by Arbella Insurance where you can register for a reminder by either e-mail, phone or text message.  There is no cost for this service.
