Re-Registration Wizard

Use the Re-Registration Wizard to 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, expiration date, and all fees associated with the re-registration.  During the final step after all required information is entered and verified, the MVR-3 vehicle registration form prints.

Notes:  

• You can use this wizard to re-register a vehicle that has been registered before in the State of Maine even if the vehicle is new to the municipality and not currently in the NDS Motor Vehicle Registration system.

• You can include a registered vehicle weight change with the re-registration, if applicable.  You can change a vehicle weight for the following class codes:  AC, AF, AW, BB, BC, CC, CL, CO, DS, DV, FD, FM, LB, MH, RV, SW, TL, TR, (only spec mob equipment), TS, TT, VT, VX, WB, AND WX.

• For a registered vehicle weight change the following information is included on the MVR-3 form:

• REG VEH WEIGHT CHANGE for the Print Priority Schedule

• G for the Information Reason Code

• Registered Vehicle Weight Change rate prints in the Rate field, the original fee prints in the Credit field, and the difference (which the customer pays if its positive) prints in the Fee field on the MVR-3 form

• A registered vehicle weight change permanently changes a registered vehicle's weight for a valid registration.  While you can use this wizard to permanently increase the weight of a registered vehicle, if you want to temporarily increase the weight of a vehicle you can use the Booster Permit Wizard.

• The units and monies for the weight increase will total under IGW on the Town Detail and Town Summary Reports.

• When processing a transfer with a registered vehicle weight increase the $8 transfer fee is reported under Transfers and the difference in the registration fee is reported under IGW.

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

• Vehicle Registration form that is expiring

• VIN

• Mileage

• Proof of Insurance
