I do NOT own a vehicle but will be driving a vehicle owned by someone else (out of state). It looks like I will have to get a Massachusetts driver’s license. I can not figure out two things: 1) Do I need Massachusetts-specific insurance to get a Massachusetts license or can I keep the insurance I have out-of-state (as long as it meets the minimum amounts of coverage posted on the DMV website), 2) Do I still need to register the vehicle (that I do not own?)

As a resident, you'll need to obtain a Massachusetts license and insurance, as well as register the vehicle in Massachusetts. Here's a link to the RMV's checklists for these processes: http://www.massrmv.com/ChecklistsforBranchTransactions.aspx.

Everything I read says that I need to bring the car title to the RMV in order to register it in Massachusetts but I do not hold the title since it is a leased car. Can I bring the registration…. or what can I do?
Reply	MassGov Staff says:	October 22, 2015 at 11:35 am	Hello,
It sounds like you may need to bring a copy of the out-of-state title with you to register the vehicle in Massachusetts. You can find detailed information in the "Bringing Leased Vehicles to Massachusetts" section on this page: http://www.massrmv.com/rmv/regs/reg4.htm. Best,

Reply	MassGov Staff says:	November 10, 2015 at 2:16 pm	Hello,
You should convert your vehicle registration as soon as you establish residency in the Commonwealth. Massachusetts law does not provide a grace period. Best,

I purchased a used vehicle from a MA dealer 7 months ago and they delivered it to me out of state. I am now moving to MA. I plan to 1.)transfer my out of state license and 2.)transfer my out of state registration. Since its been more than 6 months, I believe I'm exempt from MA tax provided I show up with a Letter of Delivery, but do I still need to fill out a MVU-29 ?
Reply	MassGov Staff says:	November 12, 2015 at 9:31 am	Hi Patrick,
If the applicant for title and registration is eligible for a sales tax exemption, based upon the vehicle being delivered outside of Massachusetts, then the MVU-29 form must be completed, regardless of the date of purchase. You can call the Massachusetts Department of Revenue with questions about eligibility at 617-887-6367 or toll-free at 800-392-6089.
