I’m trying to find the closest DMV to NH Rt 95 but I’m in Rhode Island for the winter. I need to renew my Maine driver’s license but don’t want to drive all day to do it. Anyone know the best DMV to go to?
If you’re staying in Rhode Island, you can’t renew a Maine license there. You’ll need to do that through the Maine BMV, either online or by mail. But if you need other services in Rhode Island, you can visit a DMV in Middletown. It’s about 40 minutes from Rt 95.

Thanks for the info! Didn’t realize the Maine renewal had to be done through Maine itself. Any idea if there’s a way to avoid going all the way back to Maine?

Nope, for Maine license renewals, you’ll need to go through the Maine BMV. You can do it online or by mail, though. That should save you some travel time!
I think the closest DMV in Maine near NH Rt 95 is the York BMV Mobile Unit. It’s at York Town Hall and usually opens on a scheduled basis. It’s a good option if you want to avoid driving too far.

Great, thanks! I’m actually heading north on 95, so I’ll check that out. Do you know if they do license renewals there?
@Shan
Yes! They offer a range of services, including license renewals. Just check their schedule before you go since it’s mobile.
If York doesn’t work for you, you could also check out the Saco BMV Branch. It’s about 30-40 minutes from the NH border, and it’s a pretty quick option for getting your license sorted.

That’s another great option! Saco’s right off I-95, so it should be pretty convenient. Thanks for the tip!
I had the same issue last year! I ended up going to the Saco branch. It was pretty easy, and the staff was super helpful with the Maine license renewal.

Good to know! I’m leaning toward Saco now. Hopefully it’s just as smooth for me!
Thanks for the help everyone! I really appreciate the info. I was stressing about the drive but looks like I’ve got a few good options to check out.
