Chapter 8. Licensing for Military Personnel Driver's License Renewal continued Upon returning to Massachusetts after your honorable discharge from active duty, you have 60 days to renew your expired Massachusetts driver's license. If you have a driver's license issued by the Armed Forces based in another country, you may operate a motor vehicle in Massachusetts for up to 45 days. This policy is applicable only to military personnel; it does not apply to their spouses or dependents. Driver's License Replacement If you are an active member of the military (or your spouse or dependent), wants to obtain a replacement driver's license, you should send a letter of request stating whether your driver's license was lost or stolen and a photocopy of your military identification to the Driver Licensing Department. There is no fee for duplicate driver's licenses for military personnel or their dependents. Mail your request to: Registry of Motor Vehicles Driver Licensing Department P.O. Box 55889 Boston, MA 02205-5889 03/18
