The Maine Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is the state agency that handles all driver’s license related matters. The DMV provides a variety of services, including issuing new driver’s licenses and renewing existing ones.

Securing Your Identification Documents

An identification document is a document which may be used to identify a person. It may be a driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, or any other form of identification.

In order to obtain an identification document in the United States, one must provide required documentation and pay the fee. The fee for obtaining an identification card in Maine is $30.00 and it takes 4-6 weeks to process the application.

Obtaining Your Learner’s Permit/Permit Transfer

A learner’s permit is a temporary driver’s license that allows you to practice driving. You must be at least 15 years old and have your parent or guardian with you when applying for the learner’s permit. In Maine, the learner’s permit is valid for 12 months and can be renewed for an additional 12 months if you are 16 years old.

You must pass a written knowledge test on Maine traffic laws, rules of the road, and highway signs before getting your learner’s permit. The knowledge test is free to take online and will help you prepare for the exam ahead of time.

There are also other steps that need to be taken before getting your learners permit: not only will you need to take a written test, but you’ll also have to take a skills-based road test.
