Our office is open to the public Monday - Friday 8AM - 4:30PM. You do not need an appointment to come into the Town Hall to conduct business.

Our office does not issue license plates of any kind so if your transaction requires a license plate, you will have to start your registration here and finish it at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). The local Kennebunk BMV Branch can be reached at 207-985-4890 for any questions regarding license plates or title applications.

Kennebunk Residents - Renewing vehicle & trailer registrations

Are you here to renew your vehicle registration?  You might be able to renew your vehicle registration online through the State of Maine’s Rapid Renewal Service.

2. Proof of insurance 
3. Current mileage
4. Payment; cash, check or credit card (fees apply when using credit/debit cards)

What is Excise Tax?
Excise tax is an annual local town tax paid at the Town Hall 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.
