Three habits usually help in Portland: (1) book an appointment if the office offers them; (2) use online services first (renewals, duplicate registrations, address changes) — much of what people go to the DMV for can be done at home through Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles at https://www.maine.gov/sos/bmv/; (3) avoid Mondays, Fridays, and the last week of the month, when lines tend to be longest.

Usually, for driver-license services — most states let you visit any state-run office. Title and registration are often handled by county offices in Maine that may serve only county residents, so call ahead to confirm.
