If AAA does that kind of renewal go there. Way easier. They might only do in state stuff but it’s way better than the dmv. Also agreed why should another state care about what you did before? That’s standard operation procedure

I don’t think you can do a new license from out of state at AAA. It’s mostly renewal type of stuff. Regardless, the DMV is by appt now, not a line.

Likely but once you have the RI license it’s way easier to go to AAA.

Yeah when it’s not something starting from scratch (ie new license, new car, etc) it’s usually possible. But again, since the DMV is by appointment going to AAA doesn’t really save time anymore. Unless it just happens to be the closest location for you.

Ok ya I get its not their fault. I thought maybe they could at least use my same license picture or something, that’s all. Trust me it’s very stressful paying that much money to get new insurance that’s way more expensive, plus new license and registration when I just did it.

Also for some reason when I was on the phone with AAA (my insurance) they didn’t mention that I could go there instead of the DMV. I’ll have to ask them about that
