Anyone know where to get a Title of ownership so I can get a plate for my 50cc scooter? I live in N J. I want to ride my scooter!!!

The dealer you bought the scooter from should have sent you a MSO or MCO and then you take that along with the sales slip to any DMV in your city or town. They send the MSO or MCO to the state and the state then sends you a TITLE.

[replyingto=justbuggin2]justbuggin2[/replyingto]I don't have a MSO. Maybe I could find a junk scooter and use the title?

No you can't. The vin numbers must match.
How did you end up with no title or MCO? For many that's a red flag.

Here's NJ info:

Registering Motorcycles in New Jersey

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.

Be Big,

My brother-in law bought it from a friend for 500.00. The owner told him he had no MSO or registration for the scooter. He found out the next day when he sobered up that the scooter had a hundred things wrong with it. So he gave it to me thinking to not spend any more money on it. He knows I will chase after it until every thing is fixed. See I even have to work for free stuff But I'm not really complaining.

We got registration here in the South as well,but all we need is a clear Title--for used scooters or cars--proof of insurance is not needed to title it ,but a title is needed to get insurance..if you don't have a clear title,you can get a salvage title if it is not on a list of stolen or lien holders...it could be you got a scoot for parts--good luck,hope you get it going,fflintstone

Check with DMV. Here in NY my 50cc bikes have transferable registrations. I handed in the MSO and got no titles. I sold one last year and the registration said, "Transferable document." Otherwise it only costs a mere $400 to get a new title on clean VIN numbers.

Ah,that may be what we call a salvage title here in Tenn...haven't tried it yet but haven't needed to --good luck,fflintstone
