The Massachusetts RMV is the oldest Registry in the country
While the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles may be the oldest Registry in the country, this does not necessarily mean that it is not the most modern. In response to a growing need to meet the needs of a new generation of drivers accustomed to using their smartphones to do everything from pay bills to buying coffee, the RMV has offered a new 10 point promise to its customers.
Explaining this new consumer-friendly focus, Registrar Celia Blue says, “Our ten point promise is a commitment to our customers. It will serve as a roadmap on our way to delivering extraordinary service.”
“We have re-imagined the RMV and are prepared to deliver improvements in the short term and for the next generation of drivers,” said Secretary Davey. “At the core of our ten point promise is the effort to diversify our service delivery channels,” said Secretary Davey.
In reviewing the RMV’s new ten point promise, the most interesting point for the independent insurance agents may well be in point #6 in which it says that it will continue to pursue and expand partnerships with a variety of organizations including insurance agents. Here are the full ten points:
