Revere DUI and OUI Records

Revere DUI records are handled at Chelsea District Court, which serves both Revere and Chelsea for misdemeanor OUI cases. Revere has no district court of its own. All OUI cases from Revere arrests go to Chelsea, and felony cases move from there to Suffolk Superior Court in Boston. Knowing this before you search saves a lot of time.

Courts Handling Revere OUI Records

Chelsea District Court hears misdemeanor OUI charges for Revere under MGL c.90 § 24. First and second offense OUI cases from Revere arrests are filed there, not in a Revere courthouse. Chelsea District Court is in Chelsea, a separate city, but it holds jurisdiction over Revere's criminal cases including OUI. The dockets are searchable through the statewide MassCourts system, so you can find them online without going to the courthouse first.

Felony OUI cases from Revere go to Suffolk Superior Court. A third OUI offense is a felony in Massachusetts. When a Revere case reaches that level, it moves from Chelsea District Court to Suffolk Superior Court at 3 Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108. The criminal division can be reached at (617) 788-8160. Records for felony OUI cases tied to Revere residents are held at Suffolk Superior Court, not at Chelsea District Court.

OUI Enforcement in Revere

Revere Police and Massachusetts State Police share enforcement duties in the city. The Revere Police Department is at 400 Revere Beach Parkway, Revere MA 02151, and can be reached at (781) 284-1212. State Police also patrol Revere Beach Boulevard and the highway connections running into and out of the city, including the Tobin Bridge approach and Route 1A.

Revere Beach is one of the most active public areas in the city, and OUI enforcement in and around the beach area is consistent on summer weekends. Route 1 and the roads connecting Revere to Logan Airport also see regular State Police patrols. The combination of beach traffic, restaurant and bar districts, and highway access points makes Revere an active enforcement zone throughout the warmer months and on major holidays year-round.

Suffolk County recorded 612 OUI charges in fiscal year 2022. Revere contributes to that count alongside Boston and Chelsea. Under MGL c.90 § 24, a driver is considered under the influence at a BAC of 0.08% or higher. Lower thresholds apply for drivers under 21 and for commercial drivers. A first OUI carries fines of $500 to $5,000, up to 2.5 years in jail, and a one-year license suspension. Many first-time defendants in Revere cases qualify for the alternative 24D disposition under MGL c.90 § 24D, which substitutes probation and required alcohol education for jail time, paired with a shorter 45 to 90 day suspension.

Second offense OUI brings fines of $600 to $10,000 and a two-year suspension. A third offense is a felony. At that point the case moves to Suffolk Superior Court, fines go up to $15,000, and the suspension extends to eight years.

Driving Records and CORI for Revere OUI Cases

Two separate record systems document an OUI from Revere. The court docket at Chelsea District Court shows the criminal case. The RMV driving record shows the administrative consequences. Both may be relevant depending on what you need.

The RMV driving record request page lets you order a driving record online, by mail, or in person at an RMV service center. An unattested record costs $8. A certified copy is $20. The driving record shows license status, OUI suspension history, and the administrative side of any OUI case tied to a Revere driver.

CORI is available from the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services for $25 per request through DCJIS. CORI shows criminal charge history, dispositions, and whether a record has been sealed. For OUI records, sealing is available immediately for 24D dispositions, after five years for misdemeanor OUI, and after ten years for felony OUI. The RMV reinstatement process covers what is needed to restore a license following an OUI suspension in Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts law about drunk driving page covers OUI statutes, penalties, and enforcement resources. It is a useful starting point for understanding the full scope of what an OUI conviction means in Massachusetts, from arrest through license reinstatement.

Legal Resources for Revere OUI Cases

Chelsea District Court has a clerk's office that can provide procedural information. Because Revere cases are heard in Chelsea, any in-person help with dockets or records happens at the Chelsea courthouse, not in Revere itself. For legal advice on an OUI charge, the Massachusetts Bar Association's referral service connects residents with defense attorneys practicing in Suffolk County. Revere residents who qualify by income may access legal aid services through Greater Boston Legal Services. The Committee for Public Counsel Services handles court-appointed defense counsel for defendants who cannot afford private representation.

For CORI sealing after an OUI case is resolved, the process runs through DCJIS. Waiting periods apply based on the offense level and disposition. The state's OUI law page is a good guide for understanding what options are available after a case closes at Chelsea District Court or Suffolk Superior Court.
