Maine does not require titles for vehicles older than 15 years. Maine is also a non-resident registration state. Which means you can get your car registered there even if you have no address in the state. So for states requiring the last registered owners signature to obtain a title, you can give an agency in Maine power of attorney to register your vehicle there and then you become the last registered owner and can sign the forms in your own state to obtain a title. You have to have the car insured and provide a bill of sale and you'll pay taxes in Maine and your own state though. | Maine does not require titles for vehicles older than 15 years.

One may also possibly use a Maine registration as a "stepping stone" to getting a title in another state, "moving" there, etc. | One may also possibly use a Maine registration as a "stepping stone" to getting a title in another state, "moving" there, etc. | ||
