How to Register a Vehicle
Go to a municipal town office near you. If your local municipal town office does not engage in the registration of motor vehicles, you must instead visit a Maine BMV (Bureau of Motor Vehicles).

- Title Signed Over by the Previous Owner: Required for vehicle models 25 years old and newer
- White and Yellow Copies of the Registration Application and Excise Tax Receipt
Out-of-State Purchase
- Signed Bill of Sale: Required when purchased from an out-of-state dealer
- Maine Sales Tax: 5.5% of the purchase price
Notes
- You must pay the excise (municipal) tax at your town office first.
- If your local town office does not issue registrations, you can finish the process at a BMV branch office.

Firearm Registration Forms
Maine does not demand registration of guns procured within or outside of the state for its residents. There is no requirement to get hold of a permit before buying a firearm, and no need for a background check when purchasing in the form of a private sale. Permitless carry allows individuals to carry openly or concealed in acceptable areas. If you wish to utilize reciprocity to travel out-of-state, within the borders of participating states, make available the following to submit to the Maine State Police Special Investigations Unit:
- A completed and executed Maine Application for Permit to Carry Concealed Handguns (Form 1R-Rev 8-15)
- Achievement in successfully passing a hunting safety program with a qualified instructor.
- An valid color passport-style photo measuring 2″ x 2″
- Documentation to prove USA citizenship or naturalization.
- Payment for all application fees
