AUGUSTA — Secretary of State Charlie Summers is warning motorists about websites claiming to provide new driver’s licenses and driver’s license renewals.

Summers says the websites charge customers, but never send valid credentials. Maine’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles has received complaints about websites called DMV-DriversLicences.com and US-DriversLicenses.com.

Summers says new Maine driver’s licenses can only be obtained at state Bureau of Motor Vehicles branches or mobile units. The only valid website for renewing a Maine driver’s license is maine.gov/online/bmv/dlr. Proof of residency and legal presence must already be established to renew online.

A complete listing of BMV locations can be found at maine.gov/sos/bmv/locations.
