Registering Motorcycles in New Jersey

For motorcycle registration visit any New Jersey MVC office with the following:

  • Proof of insurance.
  • One of the following: the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin (MCO); a New Jersey or out-of-state title; or, if the bike is from a non-titled state, the registration and a notarized bill of sale from the previous owner with motorcycle description and sale price.
  • Cash or a check or credit card to pay the $65 registration fee.
If your motorcycle's manufacturer does not appear on the state's approved list, you must also provide:

  • A color photo of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) label.
  • A color photo of the EPA Noise Emissions label
  • A color photo of the EPA Exhaust Emissions label.
  • A color photo of the side of the motorcycle.
Remember, before your motorcycle riding is legal, you must register your bike.

Vehicle Registration for Mopeds and Scooters

For the vehicle registration of a moped or scooter visit any NJ MVC office with:

  • Proof of insurance.
  • The MCO.
  • The title or registration. (If the vehicle is not titled or registered you'll need to get a notarized statement from the previous owner, describing the vehicle and the sale price.)
  • Cash or a check or credit card to pay the $15 moped registration fee.
The MVC takes the registration of these kinds of bikes just as seriously, so be sure to register your moped or scooter to avoid citations and fines.
