To start you'll need the title. If it's leased or financed you'll need a copy of it.

If the vehicle was registered out of state before this, you also need a VIN check before you can do anything. Call your town's police department and find out what days/times they do them.

Do you own your car or have a copy of the original title? If not you’ll need to get it sent to Cranston and you can only make the appointment at Cranston. I have a leased car and it was a nightmare to get my car stuff switched to RI

How I got through it last month

1.Change address with insurance 2.vin check with local police dept. ( I went to the DMV first thinking the vin check was later, lucky Middletown pd checks regardless of residence) 3. DMV ,. Make an appointment , bring your title , proof of citizenship like a birth certificate or passport and 2 articles of mail to your address. You should be able to do both the license and the registration on the same appointment. 4. Get inspection within 5 days. If you don't they will suspend the registration after a few weeks. Ask me how I know. 5. I also got a letter explaining that I need to get my insurance company to send verification of insurance to the DMV. Have not done this yet but looks like they give you about 2 months to figure that out. Sounds like a pita if you have a shitty insurance company like I do.
