====How do I title a homemade motorcycle?==== A “homemade” motorcycle is a motorcycle that is assembled from new and/or used parts by someone other than a licensed manufacturer. You can apply for a title in person at the Glen Burnie branch office. Typically, you will need to submit the following documents: *Proof of ownership – Proof of ownership is required for the frame, engine and transmission used in building the motorcycle: **If the frame, engine and/or transmission is new, the manufacturer's certificate of origin is required. **If the frame is from a used vehicle, a title for the vehicle in your name or a title that has been properly assigned to you is required. **If the frame is from a salvaged vehicle, a salvage certificate in your name or a certificate that has been properly assigned to you is required. *Other documents that may establish ownership are: **Registration document and bill of sale – ONLY if the state from which the frame was obtained did not issue a title (usually because of the vehicle’s age). Application – You may use either the back of the Maryland title or the Application for Certificate of Title to request the new title (and registration, if applicable). When the Maryland title is used as the application form, complete the section entitled Application for Title and Registration. Proof of purchase price – You must submit the bills of sale and/or receipts for all parts and labor. The MVA may require that your proof of purchase documents be notarized. Odometer disclosure statement - You may use the manufacturer’s certificate of origin or the title to document the mileage of the vehicle. A separate odometer disclosure statement may also be submitted. Application for Assigned Vehicle Identification Number (if applicable) - A new vehicle identification number (VIN) may be assigned to the completed motorcycle. The Maryland State Police will install the new VIN plate after they have inspected it. Motorcycle Equipment Certification - You must certify that the motor has a rating of more than 1.5 brake horsepower and a motor capacity of at least 49cc. For all titling a Maryland safety inspection certificate - A safety inspection is required if the vehicle is being registered at the same time (most cases). Your title will be mailed to you. If you also register the vehicle (most cases), your registration card, license plates and expiration date stickers can be provided immediately when you apply in person to the MVA; otherwise, these items also will be mailed to you.
