Maine’s Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife is pleased
to announce that the Maine Boat Registration Renewal service
(https://www.maine.gov/online/boat/) has reached a new milestone
adding its 200th participating municipality. The City of
Calais went live with the online service on May 16.
“The City of Calais is excited to offer the online boat
registration renewal service to our boat owners,” said James
Porter, City Manager. “The service allows users to register
whenever and wherever it is convenient for them without the hassle
of driving to the city hall during regular business hours or
waiting in line.”
Boat Registration Renewal is an eCommerce service that allows
citizens to conduct business with municipal and state government in
one seamless online transaction. The service launched in 2009 with
just over 100 municipal participants and has since been
enthusiastically embraced by Mainers and non-residents who moor
their boats in Maine, with more than 71,000 boats registered online
to date. While municipal participation in Boat Registration Renewal
is optional, the service is currently offered by cities and towns
from York County to Aroostook County, with populations ranging from
Glenwood Plantation's three citizens to more than 66,000 in the
City of Portland.
"Through Boat Registration Renewal online, residents and
non-residents who boat in Maine can renew registrations and pay
their municipal excise taxes online, 24 hours a day, seven days a
week," commented IF&W's Director of Licensing and Registration,
Bill Swan. "This availability increases compliance with state and
local registration laws and is a great convenience to boating
enthusiasts throughout the state.”
Boat Registration Renewal was developed at no cost to taxpayers
and was created in partnership with the state's digital government
services provider, InforME and Maine’s Office of Information
Technology. The service is part of the popular suite of online
services currently available through Maine.gov
(http://www.Maine.gov).
Boat Registration Renewal may be accessed
through http://www.maine.gov/ifw/index.html, the Department of
Inland Fisheries & Wildlife site for online services. Municipal
officials who would like more information about participating in
Boat Registration Renewal are encouraged to contact InforME
directly at info@informe.org.
