Frequently Asked Questions - What If You're Moving To ME Or Just Visiting

Yes. Maine will recognize out-of-state Learner's Permits.

As long as you do not become a ME resident, you are allowed to drive with a valid out-of-state license for as long as you like.

If your license is still valid, you do not have to take the ME Driving Exam. You will need to replace your out-of-state license with a Maine Driver's License.
