Chapter 9-0 Suspension - Out of State Out of State Suspension/Revocations Each State in the U.S. is required to notify the driver's home state through the National Driver Register if a driver has committed an offense which has caused the driver's right to operate to be suspended or revoked out-of-state. If Massachusetts received notification that a person's right to operate was suspended or revoked by another state, the RMV will mail them a suspension notice, giving the person 30 days to resolve the out-of-state issue. If a person's Massachusetts license or right to operate has been suspended or revoked due to a suspension or revocation in another state, they must be reinstated in that state before any revocation in Massachusetts can be resolved. The pending suspension will become effective on the date specified in the suspension notice and will remain in effect until the out-of-state suspension has been cleared. If the out-of-state suspension or revocation has been resolved, the customer must present either a Clearance Letter or a current driving record, not more than 30 days old, from the state of suspension to a full service RMV branch. The pending suspension or revocation in Massachusetts must be removed manually by the RMV, even if the effective date has not been reached. If the Massachusetts suspension has taken effect, the customer will be required to pay $100 reinstatement fee. If your out-of-state offense is related to Operating Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (including Breathalyzer Refusals & Failures) or Vehicular Homicide/ Manslaughter, you must see a Hearings Officer and submit all of the following: * A Certified Driving History (current within 30 days) from the state in which the offense occurred * Court Abstracts providing disposition information * A letter of reinstatement from the state of violation (current within 30 days). 9:11
