Q. What is the required paperwork when registering a vehicle?
A. It depends on the type of registration …..
If a Vehicle Re-registration:
Current or expired registration (yellow form); Current proof of insurance (with good expiration date on card), Current odometer reading
If purchased from a Maine Dealer:
Window sticker, Title Application, Sales Tax form, Current proof of insurance (with good expiration date on card). Must then go to a Maine DMV branch to complete the transaction, they will issue you your plates and stickers. Town of Freeport is not considered a full-service registration agent, thus we do not carry plates.
If purchased from a private sale:
Bill of Sale; Current proof of insurance. Title Application and Sales Tax Form will be given to you by the clerk. You must fill these out before going to DMV to complete the transaction. DMV will charge you $23 for the Title application and 5% of the purchase price of the vehicle.
NOTE: If a vehicle is sold or traded, the plates and registration should be retained. It may be advantageous to transfer the plates and excise credit when registering a new vehicle. The clerk will help you calculate the better option. There are NO CASH REFUNDS on unused excise tax for retired vehicles.
