I have a NJ license with points I want to get a mass license to lose
the points.Can I do that? are there any laws That I would be breaking?
How can i prove my proof for residency? An old bill or a statement
with my MA address? the only reason I am thinking of this is to save
money, but is it worth it?

Dear mason1985-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. Most
state have what is known as a ?driver compact? which essentially means
that states exchange information regarding driver histories with one
another. Points assessed in one state that is a member of the compact
will transfer to the state where a new license is obtained. New Jersey
has long since been a member of the driver compact and Massachusetts
only recently adopted such a law. What this means is that New Jersey
will report any negative driver history to Massachusetts.

NEW JERSEY MOTOR VEHICLE COMMISSION

CHAPTER 90: SECTION 30B INTERSTATE COMPACT; MOTOR VEHICLE CONVICTIONS

In addition, Massachusetts requires you to surrender your out of state
driver's license to them when you convert your license from New Jersey
to Massachusetts. The state then runs your driver?s license to see if
it is valid and what points are assessed to it. There is no way to
escape this fact short of committing fraud.

MASSACHUSETTS REGISTRY OF MOTOR VEHICLES

Is it worth it?  No, not in my opinion.

I hope you find that my answer exceeds your expectations. If you have
any questions about my research please post a clarification request
prior to rating the answer. Otherwise I welcome your rating and your
final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the
near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.
