Mass. Registry Fees May Soon Be On The Rise

It may soon cost more in Massachusetts to renew a driver's license, register a car, or conduct other business at the Registry of Motor Vehicles. State officials will seek to raise Registry fees by 10 percent on July 1 to fill a $53 million gap in the state Department of Transportation's operating budget. Dana Levenson, the department's chief financial officer says many of the Registry fees incurred most often by customers have not increased since 2008.
