Under the new law the state passed last year, which was upheld by voters who shot down a repeal effort at the ballot box, Massachusetts residents without legal status will be eligible to apply for a license for the first time on July 1.
Published March 27, 2023If all 200,000 newly-eligible undocumented immigrants apply for a driver's license next fiscal year, their applications would far exceed the number of first-time license applications the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles issues every year.
The fiscal year 2023 state budget included about $9 million for initial start-up costs for the Registry andbe spent in fiscal year 2024 to implement the law. If all 200,000 newly-eligible residents apply for a license in fiscal year 2024, fees could more than counterbalance the governor's recommended $28 million in funding, according to the Executive Office of Administration and Finance.
As of January 2022, a typical five-year car license costs $75, driver's education certificates cost $15, registration fees can cost up to $100 and title certificates $75, according to the RMV.
