Maine Secretary of State Charlie Summers announced the popular online
vehicle registration renewal service, Rapid Renewal (www.Maine.gov/vehicle),
is now available on mobile devices.
The easy-to-use Rapid Renewal service is currently offered in 161 cities
and towns from York County to Aroostook County, with populations ranging
from Glenwood Plantation's two citizens to more than 64,000 in the City
of Portland. Through Rapid Renewal, citizens are able to renew their
vehicle registrations and pay their municipal excise taxes in one quick
and simple online transaction, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
“Since its inception in 2000, the Rapid Renewal service has been
enthusiastically adopted by Maine citizens,” stated Secretary of State
Charlie Summers. “Over 100,000 renewals are completed online each year,
so it is important that we keep up with changing technology and when we
can, make user-friendly improvements.”
The recent upgrade includes a responsive design that automatically
reformats to work on any screen size, so that citizens can renew through
Rapid Renewal on smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktop computers.
In addition to the new design, the service is enhanced to be even more
user-friendly. For example, as customers type in their registration
details online, the service provides instant feedback to indicate
whether the information meets the required format for each field. This
prevents errors, enhances the user experience, and helps to ensure a
successful transaction.
The Rapid Renewal service is operated at no cost to the State of Maine
through InforME, the state’s e-government portal, and is one of many
citizen services available on www.Maine.gov.
Other online vehicle services include replacement registrations, driver
license renewal, vanity license plates, and trailer, boat, ATV, and
snowmobile registration renewals.
