Law enforcement and inspection stations have been notified of the delay.
Anyone renewing online through the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) will receive the following message on their summary page and on their confirmation email that explains this delay.

Please expect the Certificate of Registration and Expiration decal to be mailed within 20-24 business days. At the end of this online transaction, you will receive an email confirmation showing your transaction was successful and your registration will be ACTIVE in the RMV system.
