RI DMV Extends license, Credential Expiration Dates Due to New Computer System Launch
Friday, June 30, 2017
The Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles announced that they have extended the validity periods for Rhode Island motor-vehicle credentials with July 2017 expiration dates to September 30.
“I want to thank the General Assembly, and Governor Raimondo, for enacting legislation that will give me, and future Division administrators, the authority to accommodate Rhode Islanders whenever DMV operations could be affected by major events such as natural disasters, emergencies or other circumstances, such as the computer system upgrade. The Division’s computer system launch is an infrastructure project with significant implications for the state,” said DMV Administrator Walter R. “Bud” Craddock.

This announcement follows action this week to extend the validity period for temporary license plates from 20 to 40 days.
The Transportation Security Administration has informed the Division that individuals carrying Rhode Island credentials that expire during the computer transition period should not encounter difficulty during domestic air travel. It is recommended that Rhode Islanders with expired credentials bring a second form of ID as well.
