Universal Citation: 29 ME Code Rules ยง 250-165-J
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

IFTA Licenses: The Fuel Unit will review each application for an IFTA license. A license will be issued so long as the applicant meets the IFTA basing requirements, and so long as the applicant is not under suspension or revocation in an IFTA jurisdiction. The license will have the form specified in the IFTA administrative procedures manual.

The licensee must place a copy of the license in each qualified vehicle. A licensee may display their license electronically. The image may be in the form of an electronic image or data connection. The image must be readable, and must contain all required fields. Electronic images are subject to verification. The State of Maine assumes no responsibility for the accidental damage of any electronic device.

Intrastate Licenses: Intrastate carriers must be in good standing in the State of Maine. Intrastate licensees must place a copy of the intrastate license in each qualified vehicle. Intrastate carriers will be issued one decal to be displayed on the driver's side of the cab near the door. Intrastate decals expire on June 30.

IFTA carriers will be issued a set of two decals for each qualified vehicle. A decal must be conspicuously displayed on each side of the cab near the door. The next year's decals may be displayed starting December 1.

Replacement decals may be obtained at full fee. Fees may be waived if the licensee provides a notarized statement that the decals were never received, or if the decals were defective.

Decals must be fixed to the vehicle by the adhesive backing in such a way that the removal of a decal will cause its destruction.

Upon the transfer of ownership of the vehicle, any decal is void and must be removed and returned to the Fuel Unit or destroyed. Decals may not be transferred from one vehicle to another. Upon closure of an account, all decals must be returned to the Fuel Unit.

In the event that one decal of an IFTA set is damaged or destroyed, both decals of the set must be replaced.
