Related Precautionary Measures

With our offices closing to the public, this necessitates two other temporary changes:

Registry of Motor Vehicles Courier & EVR Service Discontinued – We must temporarily suspend our RMV services. We will continue to provide you, by email or postal mail, the necessary paperwork and guidance so that you may go the registry.

Cash Payments Discontinued – With the closure of our offices to public visitors, we are unable to accept cash payments. Please contact us to discuss payment options if you need assistance.

Thank you for your patience.  Visit dfmurphy.com for updates.

Thank you for your patience as we all work together during this time to safeguard ourselves, our families, our customers, our coworkers, and our neighbors.  Please visit our website, dfmurphy.com, for additional updates. The COVID-19 situation is continually changing and may require other precautionary measures. We look forward to the resolution of this crisis and resuming business as usual.

Sincerely,

Michael Murphy & Dennis Murphy III
