Update:
Under Maine Governor Mills’ Executive Order 53-A, the Wells Board of Selectmen voted July 11, 2020 as the deadline for vehicles that need to be re-registered from January through June 2020 to get registered without penalty. The Town of Wells encourages citizens with unregistered vehicles / motorcycles or registrations coming due, private sale or new registrations to get them registered by the deadline. All municipalities, because of COVID 19, have large backlogs of vehicles needing registration. There are several ways in which vehicles can be registered, but you will be required to have the following information with you when registering or re-registering a vehicle:
- Current Vehicle Insurance card
- Current Registration
- Mileage on the Vehicle
- New or Lease Vehicle Registration- Dealer packet of forms
