IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR A NONRESIDENT STUDENT TO FAIL TO FILE A NONRESIDENT DRIVER STATEMENT WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT LOCATED IN THE SAME CITY OR TOWN AS THE SCHOOL OR COLLEGE ATTENDED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 3 OF CHAPTER 90 OF THE MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL LAWS. FAILURE TO FILE SUCH STATEMENT IS PUNISHABLE BY A FINE NOT TO EXCEED $200.
Pursuant to M.G.L. ch.90 s.3, every nonresident enrolled as a full-time student who operates a motor vehicle in Massachusetts that is registered in another state during any period beginning September 1st of any year and ending on August 31st of the following year must file a RMV “Nonresident Driver Statement” with the Boston Police Department.
BPD will then send SUPD a copy of the completed form and SUPD will issue the student a RMV nonresident student decal. The decals will be issued through the Sergeant’s office, Sawyer A-03. The forms will be available both at dispatch, Donahue Lobby and the Sergeant’s office. Forms are also available through the RMV website.
