BMV central office closed today

AUGUSTA – Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap is authorizing immediate closure today, Thursday, July 5, 2018, of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles main office at 101 Hospital Street in Augusta.

"Due to a major cooling malfunction in our main Bureau of Motor Vehicles headquarters working conditions there have become untenable and most staff have been released for health and safety reasons. This may render some services unavailable. If you have questions, please call our main office at 626-8400. We hope to have full services restored very soon.”

All other BMV branch office locations will remain open for services. Online services are available at www.maine.gov/sos/bmv.
