The First Special Session of the 131st Legislature amended 29-A M.R.S.A. §652, which provides exemptions to requirements for a certificate of title. Subsection 13 of 29-A M.R.S.A. §652 now exempts: **Vehicles more than 25 years old**. Vehicles more than 25 years old, except when the Secretary of State determines it is in the best interest of the State and the applicant to issue a title to a vehicle more than 25 years old. To help our customers adapt to this change in law and procedure, the Bureau will continue to process applications for model years 1995, 1996, and 1997 from October 25, 2023 to December 31, 2023. As of January 1, 2024, however, title applications for model years 1998 and older will no longer be processed by the Bureau. Title applications along with supporting documentation will be returned and fees rebated. A list of dates when model year vehicles will become exempt from title is listed below: **Calendar Year Model Exempt Year** January 1, 2024, 1998 January 1, 2025, 1999 January 1, 2026, 2000 January 1, 2027, 2001 January 1, 2028, 2002 If you have any questions regarding this new law, you may contact Title Services at ([207) 624-9000](tel:2076249000) ext. 52138 or by email at [Titles.BMV@Maine.gov](mailto:Titles.BMV@Maine.gov).
