SB 1048 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Certificate of Title/Off-Road Motorcycle.

This bill authorizes the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles to issue certificates of title specifically for off-road motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, and utility vehicles. Owners of these vehicles can apply for a title by submitting a form with personal details and vehicle information, while paying the standard fee. The legislation clarifies that these vehicles are not eligible for road registration or transfer of registration but will receive a title to establish ownership. This change takes effect on October 1, 2026, providing a formal way to document ownership for these off-road machines without allowing them on public roads.
