Donate Car Process
You don't really need to tell the RMV about the car donation itself. But, you will need to do something with the license plates - and that involves the RMV.Before you donate a car, you must remove the Massachusetts plates. You can do a register transfer within seven days of the vehicle donation and use those plates on a recently bought new or used car.
If you choose not to do that - or don't have a car to transfer the plates to - you must turn in your plates to the RMV. You can simply hand over the plates at a RMV office. You'll be given a plate receipt, which you can take to a local assessor's office and possibly get an excise tax refund.
But, you can also cancel your registration/plates online at the MA RMV online branch, and print your receipt. Or, you can send your license plate to the following address and have your receipt mailed to you:
Attn: Express
Registry of Motor Vehicles
P.O. Box 55889
Boston, MA 02205-5889
Of course, you'll need to give your car title to the charity in order to have a successful title transfer. This applies to all types of donations for used cars.
