General guidance

About motorcycle registration.

A street-legal motorcycle registers through the same motor vehicle agency as a car in every state, but the required inspection, insurance minimums, and endorsement rules differ. Pick your state below for the sourced process.

01

Registration and a rider license/endorsement are separate

Registering the motorcycle (titling it and getting a plate) is a different process from getting licensed to ride one. This guide covers registering the vehicle; check your state agency’s driver-license division for the separate rider endorsement.

02

VIN inspection is common for out-of-state or used bikes

Many states require a physical VIN verification or safety inspection before they will register a motorcycle bought used or brought in from another state. The state guide below notes when this applies.

03

Insurance minimums often differ from cars

Some states set separate minimum liability insurance requirements for motorcycles. Confirm proof-of-insurance requirements with the agency in your state guide before you register.
