Beaver Cove residents can now renew motor vehicle registrations online

BEAVER COVE — Secretary of State Shenna Bellows announced that the town Beaver Cove has launched Rapid Renewal. Rapid Renewal is the Department of the Secretary of State’s online service for renewing motor vehicle registrations.

Through Rapid Renewal, Mainers can quickly and easily renew their vehicle registrations and pay their municipal excise taxes online at any time. Rapid Renewal allows Mainers to conduct business with municipal and state governments in one seamless online transaction.

With the addition of Beaver Cove, the Rapid Renewal service now includes 350 municipalities and has processed more than 3.4 million transactions to date. Municipal participation in Rapid Renewal is optional.

Residents of participating towns can continue to visit the town office to pay in person but will now also have the option of conducting transactions online. Payments are accepted by e-check or credit card.

Rapid Renewal may be accessed online 24/7. Other Secretary of State online services can be found on the Secretary of State’s website.

Municipal officials who would like more information about participating in Rapid Renewal are encouraged to contact the Department of the Secretary of State by calling 207-626-8400 or emailing sos.office@maine.gov.
