Chapter 7. Hearings Preparation: * Bring all necessary documents with you to your hearing. Check what documentation you'll need for your hearing, as it varies depending on the type of suspension. * Arrive as early as possible and allow extra time * Chemical test refusal hearings are only held at the Boston/Haymarket RMV. On the day of your hearing: While in line, you will be provided with an entry ticket based on a first come, first served basis. If you do not receive an entry ticket, then there may be more hearings in the afternoon, and it is your option to return to register to speak by phone with a Hearing Officer. Application: * Upon arrival, you will be provided a Hearing Application form for completion. * Make sure your application has been fully completed and all copied documents added. The RMV does NOT provide copy service, so ensure that you have made copies for yourself. * The RMV representative shall collect and retain your application and documents. You then exit the building. * A Hearing Officer will receive the supplied application and review it in advance of your telephonic hearing. * You do not need to be on RMV property for the telephonic hearing * Your hearing may require specific documentation. The Hearings Officer may need to spend time researching and retrieving documentation as it relates to your case. In some cases, they will need to request documentation from another agency or organization and wait for the response, which takes time. 09/21
