Massachusett’s Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) is under scrutiny after an audit uncovered 1905 licenses being issued to deceased individuals. The audit was released by the office of State Auditor Suzanne Bump on Sept. 6.

Most of these licenses were issued to people who died between 1988 and 2010, with some as early as 1962. Ninety-seven percent of the licenses issued were still active as of Jan. 2018, according to the audit (pdf).
