Massachusetts RMV to Join MyMassGov

10:36AM / Sunday, May 03, 2026Print Story | Email Story

BOSTON — The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) announced that beginning Monday, May 18, 2026, customers will access the myRMV Online Service Center using a MyMassGov account, creating a single, secure login for state services.

The update replaces the current myRMV login for individuals accounts, while business accounts will continue to use their existing credentials.

Starting May 18, customers who already have a MyMassGov account can use those credentials to log in and complete more than 50 RMV online transactions. Customers who do not yet have an account will be guided through a quick registration process that includes verifying an email address and setting up multi factor authentication, such as a one-time code sent by text or phone call. For most users, the process takes only a few minutes.

MyMassGov is the state's secure online platform that allows residents and businesses to access multiple state services with one login instead of managing separate accounts. More than 3.3 million users already rely on MyMassGov to access programs including Paid Family and Medical Leave, Unemployment Insurance, MassFishHunt and SNAP benefits.

"Streamlining RMV services under one website, MyMassGov is another important step towards making it simplistic yet secure for the public we serve. I thank the Healey-Driscoll Administration and Secretary Jason Snyder for their leadership to modernize digital transportation services in the Commonwealth," said Interim Transportation Secretary and MBTA General Manager Phil Eng. "This platform enhances access, improves usability, and strengthens security for our customers. As more agencies statewide adopt MyMassGov, it will be easier for people to connect with a wide range of services. MyMassGov helps us deliver the high?quality, convenient digital?first experience that residents expect and deserve."

Customers can continue to visit Mass.gov/RMV as they do today and will be directed to log in through MyMassGov starting May 18. Services that do not require a login, such as scheduling a Service Center appointment, will not change.

Free Vaccinations Available Throughout Berkshire County

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Fall season is also the flu season, which means vaccine clinics are now available.

The Berkshire Vaccine Collaborative will provide public vaccination clinics in Berkshire communities this fall, including the influenza and COVID-19 vaccines. There are about 49 clinics.

The collaborative began during COVID-19 to help vaccinate people across Berkshire County. Berkshire Health Systems started the Get Vaccinated Berkshires website and still manages it. The group works with the Pittsfield Public Health Department, Community Health Programs, and the Southern Berkshire Public Health Collaborative.

"The majority of people will always get the flu [vaccine] because, as I said, if you've ever gotten the flu, you will always get a flu vaccine because it's so bad. And just so you know, the flu is already in Berkshire County. It's an early season this year," said Leslie Drager, who is the senior public health nurse at Berkshire Regional Planning Commission.

Drager said last year they issued 2,705 vaccines, with more than 1,100 of them being for COVID-19 and more than 1,500 being flu. In total, they were able to vaccinate 1,669 people in Central and North County, in addition to Pittsfield.

Drager also said she will be carrying three types of COVID vaccines this year, which is in high demand.

"We have a high demand of COVID vaccine, which is awesome," she said. "So we're doing a lot of COVID vaccines. Also, I provide Pfizer, and this year I have Moderna and the Novavax, which I think is real important to get out there because the Novavax, a lot of people want, people with long COVID. So I'm carrying all three vaccines this year, which I normally only carry the Pfizer."

Public health departments also can help people access other vaccines such as for measles or meningitis when they cannot get them through a pediatrician, she added.

Using the website, people are able to get vaccines even if they are homebound by filling out a form.

All public Berkshire Vaccine Collaborative clinics are free of charge, but registrants are asked to provide insurance information, when available, in order to defray costs. The clinics are open to anyone 6 months of age or older, the age group recommended to receive an annual flu vaccine and the latest COVID-19 vaccine.

"I always encourage everybody to wear a short sleeve shirt because it makes it a heck of a lot easier to get at," Drager said. "And children, we do carry the nasal flu, the live virus of nasal flu for kids that are afraid to get needles."

Registration is highly recommended for the clinics. Walk-ins may be accepted depending on the number of vaccine doses available at each clinic, with preference given to those who are registered.

"It's really important. I'm really encouraging vaccinations for the schools, because not only you know if the kids are vaccinated and the teachers are vaccinated, the schools won't have the flu go wild right through it," Drager said. "And of course, the best way to prevent infections: washing your hands. So don't touch your face, and wash your hands."
