THE BOARD OF APPEAL

The Board of Appeal is a 3 member panel, consisting of representatives of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (RMV), the Attorney General and the Commissioner of Insurance. The Board of Appeal conducts appeals from actions of the Registrar of Motor Vehicles. These appeals reflect license suspensions ranging in duration from thirty days to lifetime suspensions and, in certain cases, require the installation and maintenance of an alcohol-detection device in the insured's vehicle. You have the right to have an attorney assist in the preparation of your appeal and represent you before the Board, which has the power to overturn the Registry's decision and order the RMV to issue you a drivers license. Important: Appeals must be filed with the Board within 10 days.
