New Registration Wizard

Use the New Registration Wizard to enter a new vehicle registration.  A registration is considered a new registration when the vehicle is registered in the State of Maine by the registrant for the first time.  The New Registration Wizard takes you through the steps of entering all the information needed for the new registration and, during the final step of the wizard after all the required information is entered and verified, the MVR-3 vehicle registration form prints.

Notes:  

• You can use this wizard to register a new vehicle that will use new license plates, old license plates that are being taken from an older vehicle or replacement plates for license plates that have been lost or stolen.

• The registrant will need the following items to complete a new registration:

• Proof of ownership documents

• Vehicle MSRP or Sales Price

• VIN

• Mileage

• Proof of Insurance

• A short term rental registration can be created during the New Registration Wizard by using special class codes such as, AG0, AW0, or PC0.
