The Maine Department of the Secretary of State, in partnership
with InforME and NIC Maine, celebrated the town of Blue Hill
becoming the 300th municipality to launch Rapid Renewal, Maine’s
online vehicle registration renewal service.
Rapid Renewal allows citizens to conduct business with municipal
government and state government in one seamless, digital
transaction. Since its launch in December 2000, the service has
processed more than 2.1 million renewal transactions for residents
across the state of Maine. Through Rapid Renewal, citizens can
quickly and easily renew their vehicle registrations and pay their
municipal excise taxes online 24/7.
"This is a huge step forward for the Town of Blue Hill and its
patrons,” said Shawna Ambrose, Town Administrator. “The Rapid
Renewal system is convenient and easy to use, which is key
especially during the pandemic. We are excited to be the 300th town
to implement this service and grateful to the InforME and NIC Maine
staff for helping us through every step of this process.”
Rapid Renewal may be accessed at www.sosonline.org, the
Secretary of State’s website for online services. Residents of
municipalities that offer Rapid Renewal can continue to visit the
town office to pay in person, but also have the option of
conducting these transactions digitally.
“NIC Maine is proud to be a part of the impact the Rapid Renewal
service has made in our home state,” said Dan Andrews, General
Manager of NIC Maine. “Rapid Renewal directly aligns with our
mission of helping citizens and businesses interact with government
more efficiently through the use of technology.”
Municipal officials who would like more information about
participating in Rapid Renewal are encouraged to contact the
Department of the Secretary of State at 207-626-8400 or by email at
sos.office@maine.gov.
