Re-Registration - Excise Tax Only Wizard

Use the Re-Registration - Excise Tax Only Wizard to process and collect the money for the excise tax portion of a vehicle re-registration, but you do not validate the registration.  This is often referred to as excise tax receipt transactions.  You can re-register a vehicle that has been registered before in the same owner name in the State of Maine.  This wizard takes you step-by-step through all the information that is needed for the re-registration including entering the current mileage and the verifying the excise fees associated with the registration.  During the final step after all required information is entered and verified, the incomplete vehicle registration form prints.

Notes:  

• The steps for a re-registration - excise tax only transaction are the same as for a regular re-registration except that you will not enter the month and year sticker numbers and you are only allowed to maintain the excise tax amount during the Registration Fee Information Step.

• You can use this wizard to re-register a vehicle that has been registered before even if the vehicle is new to the municipality and not currently in your system.
