Cancelling Your Driver's License

• To cancel your driver's license you must submit a Cancellation Request Form. The request must include a physical, mental, emotional, or vision reason for the request.  If you are already suspended or pending suspension for a non-medical reason, you will not be allowed to cancel your license until those requirements have been met.

• Attach your current driver's license to this form and return it to:

  Secretary of State
  Bureau of Motor Vehicles
  Medical Review Unit
  29 State House Station
  Augusta, ME 04333-0029

• A letter with the cancellation effective date will be mailed to you within a few days after your request has been processed.

• Please note that once your license is cancelled, you will not be able to legally operate any motorized vehicle on public roads.

• You may purchase a State of Maine Identification Card that can be used for identification purposes. You can purchase a State of Maine Identification Card at a Motor Vehicle Branch Office or Mobile Unit. At the time of purchase, you must provide proof of legal presence and Maine residency if you have not previously done so. Fee information and locations of the Branch Offices and Mobile Units can be found at:
