Auto Registration

​

Re-registering your auto can be done at the Town Office or online at State of Maine Rapid Renewal (Link https://apps1.web.maine.gov/online/bmv/rapid-renewal/ ).  If you come in to the office, we will need the following:

• Proof of Vehicle Insurance

• Old Registration

• Mileage

 

Purchased a new vehicle from a dealer? We will need:

• Blue Title Application Form

• Bill of Sale showing purchase price and sales tax

• Proof of Vehicle Insurance

• Current Mileage

 

Private Sale purchases require:

• Bill of Sale with date, price, VIN, vehicle description, and signatures of both buyer and seller

• Title if vehicle is newer than 1995

• Proof of Vehicle Insurance

• Current Mileage

 

Transferring your auto registration from your vehicle to a new/newer vehicle requires that you MUST also bring in the registration of the vehicle you are transferring from.

 

Moving from another state and registering a vehicle in Maine requires:

• Vehicle registration from previous state (Current)

• Proof of Vehicle Insurance in Maine

• Title if vehicle is newer than 1995

• Current Mileage

• Lien holder information paperwork (if applicable) 

 

Please note:

Vehicle registrations expire a year from when an auto is registered (unless you are transferring).
