- Proof of insurance
- Current mileage
- Payment: cash, check, or credit card (the vendor charges a 2.5% fee in addition)

What is Excise Tax?
Excise tax is an annual local town tax paid at the municipal office where the owner of the vehicle resides. This tax is already included in your registration fees. Except for a few statutory exemptions, all vehicles registered in the State of Maine are subject to excise tax.
