Titling - Homemade, Two-Stage or Reconstructed Vehicle
 +
 +
Explained below are the requirements for titling a “homemade” vehicle, a vehicle that was constructed by more than one
 +
manufacturer (i.e., two-stage),and a reconstructed vehicle. These vehicles are unusual in that they were built either
 +
by (or under the direction of) the vehicle’s owner or by more than one manufacturer.  In most cases, the Maryland State Police
 +
must inspect the vehicle before it can be titled.  Inspections are performed
 +
at the MVA’s Glen Burnie garage.
 +
 +
The requirements for titling the following vehicles are separately discussed below:
 +
 +
Glider Kit
 +
Homemade trailer

Fees:

If the frame is new (kits usually have a new frame included), the certificate of origin included with the kit 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.
 +
