With the Town Office closed, you have a few options for vehicle registration. If you have a re-registration with no changes (such as address), you may use RAPID RENEWAL on the Bureau of Motor Vehicles website.
The link to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles website is: www.maine.gov/sos/bmv/registration/
If you have trouble with the re-registration process, call us and we can help you through the steps or we can re-register your vehicle with us through the mail. Here is a link to a WORKSHEET FOR RE-REGISTRATION through the mail.
First time registrations of vehicles “new to you” cannot be registered online. If you have a temporary registration from a dealer, you have until 30 days after the end of the declared emergency to register and get plates for the vehicle. To register your vehicle through the Town Office, there are several steps that will need to be completed through the mail. Here is a link to the WORKSHEET FOR REGISTRATION OF A “NEW TO YOU” VEHICLE through the mail.
