Maine’s online vehicle registration renewal
program continues its success, completing its 1,000,000th
transaction
Maine’s online vehicle registration renewal program, Rapid
Renewal, processed its 1,000,000th registration renewal on June 27,
2014. The service, provided by the Department of the Secretary of
State, through its partnership with InforME, allows Maine citizens
to renew their vehicle registration from the comfort of their
living room, at work or even on the beach. The service has gained
national acclaim and has been enthusiastically embraced by
Mainers.
“Rapid Renewal began in 2001 with just 10 municipalities as
pilots for the program,” stated Maine Secretary of State Matthew
Dunlap. “Thirteen years later the service has grown to 182
municipalities, large and small, and processes approximately
115,000 registrations a year. Rapid Renewal has proven itself to be
the hallmark of making government services easy for Maine
people.”
To celebrate, the 1,000,000th user will get a special
recognition from Secretary of State Matt Dunlap to mark this
momentous milestone.
The Rapid Renewal service is currently offered by cities and
towns from York County to Aroostook County, with populations
ranging from Glenwood Plantation's two citizens to more than 64,000
in Portland. Through Rapid Renewal, Maine people are able to
quickly and easily renew their vehicle registrations and pay their
municipal excise taxes online, 24/7 from any computer or mobile
device
Rapid Renewal is just part of the popular suite of electronic
services available through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Other
online services include:
- Duplicate registrations
- Organ donor registry
- Trailer registration renewal
- Driver record orders
- Vanity license plate orders
More than 450 online government services are now available
