Brockton Registry Hours to Change in September
MassDOT’s Registry of Motor Vehicles Division Monday announced an upcoming adjustment to business hours at six RMV branches in the Commonwealth.
Beginning Monday, Sept. 9, branches in Brockton, Lawrence, Milford, Springfield, Taunton and Worcester will open for business at 9 a.m., instead of the current 8 a.m. opening. Traditionally thought of as a weekday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. operation, the 8 a.m. branch openings have failed to resonate with customers since the early hours were first introduced in 2010.
