Driving Records in Maine

About Maine Driving Records

The Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) keeps records of all licensed drivers in the state. You can obtain a non-certified copy of your ME driving record for personal use or a certified copy for official use.

Maine driving records keep track of all tickets, violations, accident reports, and suspensions you may have.
