How do I complete a motorcycle title transfer to change ownership in MA? Massachusetts
Massachusetts Motorcycle Title Transfer Process
How you'd handle the title transfer varies a little according to who owned the motorcycle previously: a Massachusetts dealer, an out-of state dealer, or a private individual.In this case, let's look at the steps to take if you bought your cycle from a private seller:
- Obtain the title from the seller. Be sure the seller records the mileage, dates and signs the title, and fills in the sales price. (If the title doesn't have a space for the price, use a bill of sale instead.)
- Sign and date the title.
- Take out a motorcycle insurance policy from a licensed agent.
- Make sure the agent stamps and signs an Application for Registration and Title (Form RMV-1).
- Record any applicable lien information on the form.
- Bring the title (and bill of sale, if applicable) to a full-service RMV agency.
- Pay the $75 title fee.
