Is the DMV open today in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, driver licensing is handled by the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV). Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
Dates come from the Commonwealth's legal holiday list on Mass.gov, the same list that closes state offices and the courts.
July 4 falls on a Saturday in 2026 and Massachusetts does not move a Saturday holiday to the Friday before, so Friday, July 3 is a regular business day.
Service Centers close for Columbus Day and Veterans Day. Book an appointment online before you go, since many transactions need one.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Massachusetts does. The final word is always the agency's own page.
Checked against the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) and the state's published holiday schedule, verified August 2026. When a schedule for a new year has not been published yet, this page says so — it never guesses.
