Motor Vehicle Registrations
New Registrations: The Weld Town Office License Plates. When you purchase a new car, whether, through a dealership or a private sale, the town office will process your whole transaction. You will need:
- Vehicle information
- Title (signed) to the vehicle if it is 15 years or newer or MVT 2 blue application if purchased from a dealer
- Bill of Sale or a previous State registration form
- Proof of Insurance
- Current mileage
- Check or Cash (The Weld Town Office does not except Debit or Credit Cards)
You will leave the Weld Town Office with new license plates for your vehicle, a one-year registration form, and stickers for the license plates.
The only plates that we cannot issue are Vanity Plates. If you wish to have a Vanity Plate on your vehicle, you will have to FIRST come to the Weld Town Office and pay excise tax. We will issue you an excise tax receipt and then send you to a State of Maine BMV Branch (Rumford) to get Vanity Plates.
Renewal Registrations: Make sure you bring with you your proof of insurance, current mileage, and cash, check or credit card (there is an additional fee if you use a credit card).
