Frequently asked questions

Do ATVs and dirt bikes have titles?

It depends on the state and the machine. Some states title them, some register them without a title, and some do neither. The state picker links to the agency that handles it.

What is a frame number and where is it?

A number stamped into the frame, often near the steering head or on a down tube. Use it where there is no 17-character VIN.

Why is the engine number on the form?

Frames get swapped and numbers wear off; the engine number is a second way to tell one machine from another.

Does the buyer need to register it?

Possibly. Off-highway registration, decals and trail permits are set by state or land-manager rules. Check the agency's page and the rules of the trail you plan to ride.

Can I use this for a side-by-side?

Yes: pick UTV / side-by-side in the machine type box.

Is a bill of sale enough to ride it on the road?

No. A bill of sale does not make a machine street legal. Road use depends on the machine's equipment and your state's rules.
