You may obtain registrations , plates, drivers licenses and state identification cards by visiting one of the 13 motor vehicle branch offices throughout the state. We also provide licensing services through mobile unit locations or *limited services through designated AAA Northern New England offices.

The payment of municipal excise (property) taxes is a prerequisite for all motor vehicle registrations.  Excise taxes must be paid to your town office prior to registration.  Many municipal offices also issue registrations. Some municipalities issue registrations and plates; check with your city or town to see if they participate in this program or refer to our listing of participating municipalities. If you choose to register your vehicle in your city or town, expect to pay a small, additional service charge (as allowed by law) for their courtesy.
