How do I replace a lost title or a damaged car title in ME? Maine
It's important to always have a legible copy of your Maine car title secured in a safe spot. So, if you notice the title is damaged or missing, you should take steps to replace it immediately.
Here's how to do so.
If a lien was listed on the title and it's been paid off, you should also complete a lien release form. The lienholder must complete and sign the lower portion of the form.
Then, take the necessary documents to a BMV branch, or mail them to:
Title Examination & Information Unit
29 State House Station
101 Hospital St.
Augusta, ME 04333-0029
Also include your payment for the $33 fee ($43 if you want a rush title). If your current title was damaged or illegible, you should bring it to the BMV office, or mail it along with your application and payment. You don't need to provide the bill of sale.
Vehicles that are older than 15 years don't require a title.
