It wasn't so bad waiting to get an ID ordered but the 2 stars was for the fact it took me almost 2 days to get a hold of anyone on the phone and when I did I was treated like an inconvenience- I was calling about the fact that the ID hasn't arrived yet and it's been over a month. I understand it was mailed out already and out of their hands but the lady on the phone could have spoke to me way more professionally. The lady I got directed to in licensing afterwards was nice though

Yes it can be a long wait but the staff there are very helpful and polite. Most things can be done online now, check it out! :)

New to Maine, had to get my ID. This place was crazy busy, but they moved quick. Plenty of seating, and the woman who helped me was very nice.

Do NOT go here, do your business online if you can. Trust me you don't want to go here you will be wasting at least half your day for a long boring wait for people who don't even care that they are slow walking you and everyone else that's been aging away in their waiting area. Places like this are a joke and they need to get their act together and hire more people or at least ones that know what they are doing. Stop tying up everyone elses day just because you have nothing better to do and do your job!

What does a person need to bring if the license has expired?

Shawley’s life | Apr 21, 2022
Andrew Baumann | Apr 21, 2022

If <30 days, just the old license. If >30 days old license and proof of citizenship (birth certificate or passport) - also needed if getting a REAL ID - now required for boarding domestic flights if you don't have a passport. If there is a change of address you need two (2) items for proof of address, ie. Utility bill, vehicle registration, voter registration card, ect. Hope this helps!
