Stumbled across your forum and think it is great!! My wife and I recently moved to MA. The state we moved from does not require front plates. My wife's car is not fitted with a front plate bracket. Some states (for example CA) have rules against the modification of front bumpers, which basically make it illegal to modify the bumpers on your car. Does MA have such a law which would make it illegal to modify her bumper or will we need to modify her car to be fitted with a plate?

Glad you like the site. I'm not aware of a MA reg. or statute that prohibits you from attaching the required license plate, and I doubt one exists. However, if you want to play it safe, the DOT has a site where you can submit a question: http://www.mass.gov/rmv/feedback/index.htm Good luck.
License Plates
You must use two plates. G.L. c. 90 Sec. 6 provides, in pertinent part, as follows: Every motor vehicle or trailer registered under this chapter when operated in or on any way in this commonwealth shall have its register number displayed conspicuously thereon by the number plates furnished by the registrar in accordance with section two or five or by temporary number plates authorized by the registrar as hereinafter provided, one number plate to be attached at the front and one at the rear of said motor vehicle, and one number plate to be attached at the rear of said trailer, but if the registrar issues but one number plate it shall be attached to the rear of the vehicle so that it shall always be plainly visible. The said number plates shall be kept clean with the numbers legible and shall not be obscured in any manner by the installation of any device obscuring said numbers, and during the period when the vehicle or trailer is required to display lights the rear register number shall be illuminated so as to be plainly visible at a distance of sixty feet.
Using a license plate bracket does not violate the law or RMV regulations.
Thanks
