Massachusetts RMV-1 Form PDF Details

The RMV-1 form is the primary document the Massachusetts RMV uses to process most vehicle-related requests. The form is set up so that it covers a lot of different transaction types, and it's broken down into clear sections that guide you step-by-step. Each section focuses on a specific area.

The first sections focus on identifying the request and the vehicle itself. You’ll enter information such as the VIN, body style, fuel type, color, and weight. From there, the form moves into ownership details, where names, addresses, and identification information must match the supporting documents exactly; close matches tend to slow things down.

As you move through the middle of the form, you may need to provide information related to:

• the type of service or transaction being requested, • registration and plate details,
• the vehicle’s sale price or any tax exemption,
• insurance company and policy information.

Not every section applies to every situation, and that’s by design. Leased vehicles require lessee information, financed vehicles call for lienholder details, and business-owned vehicles include company identification fields.

The RMV-1 form also has designated areas for dealers, insurers, and sellers when their information or signatures are required as part of the request.

The final section covers certifications and signatures. By signing, you confirm that all information provided is accurate and meets state requirements.

Important: leaving fields incomplete or missing a signature can delay processing or result in rejection, which often means submitting the form again.
