Town Office Closed Due to State of Emergency

Renewing Registrations:

Motor Vehicles and the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, during the period of a state of emergency declared by the Governor in accordance with the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 37-B, section 742 due to the outbreak of COVID-19, shall allow a resident of this State to renew the registration of a motor vehicle, trailer, all-terrain vehicle or  watercraft online, regardless of whether the municipality in which that resident resides participates in the online registration service maintained by the bureau or department, for the duration of the state of Emergency and 30 days following the termination of the state of emergency.  

Registering Newly Purchased Vehicles:

On March 23, 2020 the Governor authorized the temporary stay of the requirement to register a vehicle after the transfer of ownership or title. This will be in effect for the duration of the emergency. If a person can register normally through their municipality or Bureau of Motor Vehicle Office before the end of the emergency, then they should do so immediately.

In the event a person or company purchasing a motor vehicle or trailer in a “private sale” which does

not include a temporary registration plate, and subsequently cannot register that vehicle due to the

existing emergency, this document may serve as a temporary registration.
