ATV Titles, registration..whats needed?

[redhatman]

Hey guys I am about to pick up a blaster from a guy but he does not have a title or anything for his, just the atv.

I called the DMV and they said atv's dont have titles. What about registration like with the DNR? My current blaster I receieved one for, but is it actually needed?

What precautions can I take to make sure this isnt stolen, and that its legal? I plan on putting insurance on it.

I'd try contacting the DMV again and see if you can talk to somebody else with the same question. You might have just ended up with somebody that doesn't have a clue what they were talking about.

This stuff varies greatly from state to state though. In some states, like pennsylvania, atvs have always been sold with titles. In other states they started requiring titles for new atvs more recently, and maybe some still don't require them at all.

simple, take the vin number, call your state and local police, and have them run it.

if you ever want to register an atv with the DMV you will need one of the following three. Title, proof of origin, or a transferable registation. you will also need a bill of sale from the seller, you will have to pay tax on the price thats written on the bill of sale, when you register at DMV. I suggest putting $100-$200 on the bill of sale so you dont have to pay to much tax.
Google this mv-51b its the form you need in NY for a vehicle with no title.

Never heard of registering the atv with the dmv...the dnr handles OHV's (offroad vehicles), I simply went on the dnr website and registerefd using vin #, got my stickers and everything. This is in Wisconsin, like YamaRider stated it varies by state

Around here you only need a title to register if its a 2004 or newer, 03 or older all you need is a bill of sale.
