Necessary Documents
When shipping a motorcycle, one must complete all paperwork according to customs regulations. You will need the following papers:
- Sender’s full name and phone number.
- Copy of sender’s passport: The picture should be visible alongside the passport number.
- Recipient’s full name and phone number.
- Original title of shipped vehicle: This includes a certificate of title or certificate of origin. If the bike was financed, the lender must also provide a notarized release or similar document.
- Original bill of sale: Vehicles manufactured within five years should have a confirmation payment receipt; if it was paid in cash in full for its price, then make sure you enclose a copy of the money order, bank transfer page, or dealer’s receipt.
- Proof of ownership for older vehicles: If vehicles ten years old and older do not have a certificate title because it was never issued at the local DMV, proof of ownership must be requested at the local DMV office.
- Special requirements for heavy-duty vehicles: A heavy-duty vehicle or farm machine requires three copies of the Bill of Sale certified by a notary stating the vehicle’s VIN code.
Preparing Motorcycle for Shipment
