If your license has been suspended in Rhode Island it is also suspended in Massachusetts according to state law.
Many have said it is hard to acquire SR-22 filings in Massachusetts because your home state is one of the few out there that does not require a SR-22 to be filed for any reason.
The Massachusetts's Division of Insurance, who is the insurance regulator for the state, suggests that you contact an insurance carrier which writes throughout the country rather than just in Massachusetts such as Progressive or GEICO as those carriers are more likely to write SR22's.
We do work with Progressive and they do write SR-22 policies for other states with the higher limit of the two being required. If you still need help finding an insurance company that will file the SR-22 for you, we recommend that you contact Massachusetts's Division of Insurance directly for consumer help.
According to a bulletin put out by the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents the state's Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) has stepped in to help those eligible to regain their driving privileges while filing an SR-22. The steps to follow are:
[Let CarInsurance.com help you find affordable auto insurance now.] 1. Go to a walk-in hearing at the RMV. Bring out documentation showing the need for an SR-22 from the state requiring this filing.
2. If there are no other issues with your MA driver's license (unpaid tickets, etc.) the hearing officer will reinstate the MA privileges for 30 days. You may now legally drive in Massachusetts for a period of 30 days, but not yet in the state requiring the SR-22.
3. Get your SR-22 filed and the state requiring it should issue you a release thus reinstating your driving privileges in that state. A copy of this release will then need to be provided to the hearing officer at the RMV. This needs to be done within the 30 day period given to you in step 3 or your MA. license will be suspended again.
