I bought a car, but not from a dealer. What should I have to register it?
We call this a casual sale. You’ll need to bring the following:
- Current Maine insurance card
- Bill of sale (including seller’s name, address and VIN)
- Title, signed over correctly (for vehicles 1995 and newer)
- Mileage
- If transferring plates, please bring the old registration
For first-time registrations the person(s) whose name is on the registration must be present.
