Section 250-164-8 - REMITTANCES

1. Remittances to the Secretary must be in the form of a money order, bank draft, or credit card authorization (see restrictions below). Money orders and checks should be made payable to the Secretary of State.

2. Personal checks will be accepted subject to collection.

3. The Secretary will accept a VISA or MasterCard payment. Credit cards issued by other vendors can only be accepted if processed through a third party vendor (VitalChek Network). Payment transactions processed through a third party vendor will include an incremental processing fee based on the amount due.

4. All remittances must be in United States funds.

5. Remittances in currency or coin are wholly at the risk of the remitter. The Secretary assumes no responsibility for the loss of currency or coin sent by mail.

6. In the event that an applicant's check is returned for insufficient funds or for any other reason, the applicant's permit and right to operate commercial vehicles in the State of Maine will be suspended if, after proper notice, the applicant has not remitted all fees associated with the returned check to the Secretary. The Overlimit Permit Unit will not accept any additional applications until the applicant has completely satisfied the delinquency and associated reinstatement fees by credit card or bank/cashiers check.

7. An applicant who has had a check returned for any reason will be required to pay subsequent OGC permit fees with certified funds.
