What documents should I provide when purchasing a motorcycle from a private seller?

You’ll need a California title or a lender-provided 10-day payoff, current registration, proof of insurance, and valid driver’s licenses. Registration renewal due within 75 days may require additional items. Private party purchases are completed at a First U.S. branch because DMV ownership transfer paperwork must be processed in person. Applicable use tax and DMV fees will also be handled as part of the transaction. Before your appointment, a First U.S. representative will explain what documents you’ll need and walk you through the process.
