    • Maine Driver License Forms

    The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles uses specific forms for most license transactions. Using the correct form helps your application move smoothly. This guide explains the most common driver license forms and when to use each one.

    New Driver License Applications

    First-time applicants complete a standard license application in person. Bring proof of identity, residency, and your Social Security number. Applicants under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign in person. Download the current application from the Maine BMV website before your visit.

    Driver Education Certification

    Applicants under 18 need a state-approved driver education completion certificate. This certifies 30 classroom hours and 10 hours behind the wheel. Submit this certificate alongside your license application. Contact your driver education provider if you need a replacement certificate.

    Driving Log for Under-21 Applicants

    Drivers under 21 must submit a completed driving log instead of a standard request card. This log documents supervised practice hours before the road test. A parent or guardian typically signs off on this log. Include this log when scheduling your road test appointment.
    Access the form here: Permittee's Driving Log.

    Road Test Request Card

    Applicants 21 and older mail a road test request card to schedule their exam. Send this card to the BMV Main Office in Augusta. The BMV mails your appointment time within about three weeks. Include any scheduling restrictions with your request.

    Provisional License Forms

    Drivers under 21 receive a provisional license before earning full driving privileges. This stage includes specific restriction acknowledgment paperwork. Parents or guardians often need to sign related consent forms. Contact the BMV for the current provisional license paperwork.

    Commercial Driver License Forms

    Commercial license applicants use separate forms from standard Class C applicants. These forms account for medical certification and endorsement requirements. Class A and B applicants may need additional skills test documentation. Contact the BMV for commercial-specific application forms.

    Duplicate License and ID Card Form

    This form requests a replacement for a lost, stolen, or damaged license. Complete the form stating your credential is not in your possession. Submit it online, by mail, or in person at a BMV branch. A $5 fee applies to most duplicate requests (see our fees guide).
    Access the form here: Duplicate Driver's License or Identification Card Application.

    Mail-In Duplicate Requests

    Include your name, date of birth, current address, and reason for replacement. Sign your written request before mailing it to the BMV. Include your $5 replacement fee with your submission. Processing by mail typically takes longer than online or in-person requests.

    Out-of-State Replacement Requests

    Military members and residents living out of state can still request replacements. Include your current out-of-state address in your written request. Provide a written explanation of what happened to your original credential. Mail your completed request to the BMV's specified address.

    Renewal and Replacement Online Service Form

    This online service covers both license renewal and replacement in one system. You must hold a digital driver's license to use this service. The system is not available if your license is suspended. Commercial license holders cannot use this specific online service.

    Driving Record Request Form

    This form requests a copy of your official Maine driving record. Records are available online for $7 with a credit card. This record is often needed for employment or insurance purposes. Processing is typically fast for online requests.

    Name or Address Change Forms

    Update your name or address before requesting a duplicate or renewal. Bring legal documentation, such as a marriage certificate, for name changes. Address changes typically require proof of your new residency. These updates often happen during your next in-person visit.

    Organ Donor Registration

    You can register as an organ donor directly on your license application. This designation also appears on renewal and replacement forms. You can update your organ donor status online at any time. This registration is entirely voluntary.

    REAL ID Application Forms

    REAL ID applications require additional documentation beyond a standard license. Bring proof of citizenship or legal presence in the United States. Include proof of your Social Security number and Maine residency. This application must be completed in person at a BMV branch.

    Disability Plate and Placard Application

    This form requests a disability parking plate or placard. A physician must sign the application to confirm eligibility. Submit the completed form to the BMV for processing. Both plates and placards use the same base application form.
    Access the form here: Disability Plates/Placard Application.

    License Suspension and Reinstatement Forms

    Reinstatement often requires proof of SR-22 insurance for certain suspensions. Court-related suspensions may need documentation confirming you met court requirements. Alcohol education program completion certificates may also be required. Contact the BMV to confirm which forms apply to your specific suspension.

    Vanity Plate Application

    This form requests a personalized vanity plate combination. Include your desired combination and confirm its availability first. Submit online for most requests or in person for restricted specialty vouchers. Allow 10 to 12 weeks for BMV review and processing.
    Access the form here: Vanity Plate Application.

    Vehicle Registration Forms

    Vehicle registration forms are separate from driver license forms. These cover new registrations, renewals, and title transfers. Bring your excise tax receipt from your town office alongside these forms. Contact your town office or a BMV branch for current registration forms.

    Where to Find and Submit Forms

    Current forms are available on the official Maine BMV website. Download and print the form you need before your visit or mailing. Some forms can be submitted directly through BMV online services. Always confirm you are using the most current version of a form.

    Keeping Copies of Submitted Forms

    Save a copy of every form you submit to the BMV. Store both physical and digital copies when possible. These copies help resolve any processing questions that arise later. Keep copies until your transaction is fully confirmed complete.
