Hello everyone,
I just purchased a used bike and will have to register it and was advised to insure it before the new insurance system at State Farm kicks in. I've been doing a lot of reading around this forum and the MTO website and I am just confused now.
I have:
- UVIP
- Safety certificate
- Vehicle portion half of the ownership with transfer details on the back filled out.
I know I have to get insurance first. Is the vehicle portion half with the transfer details filled out enough for me to claim ownership to this bike? My insurance agent said she needs my license, ownership, and VIN. She also wants me to ride it there once insured/registered so she can take a photo.
Once insured, I can go get it plated correct? I go with UVIP, safety, vehicle portion of ownership, insurance, and license. I know I pay taxes at this point.
Then I go riding for a week before I put it away. Thanks for clarifying for someone who has never bought a used bike before. Hopefully I'm not missing anything!
