Rhode Island's Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offers such a wealth of downloadable forms that you, in most instances, never have to leave your house to keep your car legally on the road.

In addition, the DMV also offers registration renewal online. Not only does this service take mere minutes to complete, but it also expedites the time it takes for the DMV to process your new registration certificate and decals.

Of course, if you're not a fan of doing business online, you have the option of visiting any DMV office to collect your needed forms in person.

Types of Forms

In all, there are more than 40 downloadable forms available on the Rhode Island DMV's Web site. Forms are broken down into five categories:

• Taxation

• License

• Title Office

• Registration

• Various

Of these sections, "various" is the lone topic that's not self-explanatory. It includes forms such as a motor vehicle accident report, a draft for a flashing light permit, and an application for a chauffeur license.
