Personal accounts are limited to four tags per account and covers personal passenger cars, vans, SUVs, motorcycles and pickup trucks. Other vehicles must be registered under a business account.

2. Visit the Maine E-Z Pass Customer Service Center website to download appropriate forms. Be sure to download the Personal Account Instructions, Personal Account Application and Personal Account Terms & Conditions documents. These three documents provide the necessary information.

Tips & Warnings

• The Maine E-Z Pass website provides additional downloadable documents for EZ Pass users such as Class 1 Rate Chart, Commuter Rate Chart and Class 1 Cash/E-Z Pass Comparison Rate Chart which explains the amount of money saved by using the E-Z Pass device. Although these documents are not necessary, they do provide valuable information.
