AUGUSTA, Maine -- (Business Wire)
Maine’s Department of Public Safety is pleased to announce the
availability of a self-service interface that allows inspections station
owners to order sheets of inspection stickers online. The service is
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at www.maine.gov/online/inspectionstickers.
The state of Maine requires that every vehicle, motorcycle, bus, and
trailer undergo an annual safety inspection. Following the inspection,
vehicles that meet Maine’s minimum safety standards receive a sticker
denoting that the inspection was completed. Inspection stations must
purchase sheets of stickers from the Department of Public Safety. Prior
to the online service, this sale was completed through a mail-order form
and/or a phone call to the inspections unit. Now, through a self-service
online form, users can provide their inspection station information and
view what sticker types are currently available to that station for
purchase. Users can pay for sticker fees by Visa, MasterCard or American
Express debit or credit cards. Completed orders are mailed to the
address on file for the station within ten business days.
“The inspections unit processes sales of more than 1.3 million stickers
per year. Manually processing these orders resulted in a significant
workload for the inspections unit,” commented Lieutenant Bruce G. Scott.
“In the short two months that this online service has been available, it
has already reduced processing times, created efficiencies in the order
process for staff freeing them up for other duties, and has allowed
stations to get their stickers in hand much quicker than the mail-order
process.”
Each license number has specific prerequisites that are automatically
verified before starting the online sticker sale process. Those
purchasing stickers online are required to provide an active inspection
station license number and a Visa, MasterCard or American Express
credit/debit card.
The online service was developed at no cost to Maine taxpayers and was
created by the Department of Public Safety, in partnership with the
state’s digital government portal provider, InforME.
