We cover this in-depth explaining how Title Jumping Is More Illegal Than Jumping A Car. Title jumping is an illegal way of selling a vehicle without having to pay sales tax. When a title has passed through several hands without ever being processed, that is considered title jumping. If the title has been signed by multiple buyers and sellers over multiple selling transactions, you’ll need to make sure and obtain a bill of sale for the purchase as well. Filling out the buyer and seller information, then signing is all that’s required to use this as your proof of ownership. Without at least one of the following, there’s no guarantee even the most lenient state will be able to assist in legalizing your go kart.īuying a vehicle from the titled owner with a clean title document is the ideal situation. Fortunately, you won’t need to have all of the listed documents – only one or two will be mandatory to ensure the street legal titling and registration process go smoothly. Where you live and who you purchased from determines what proof of ownership came with your go-kart. Proof of Ownership Needed to Register a Go-Kart As long as the vehicle is paid off, you can use our LLC Add-On Service to transfer ownership out of state and into a company we open for you. In the instance they do tell you the kart has to be registered in their state, there is a solution. Especially if you have all the necessary parts to make your machine roadworthy. When your go-kart is registered out of state, the first question that comes to mind is “How does this make it legal in my state?” Surprisingly enough, many law enforcement agencies don’t care if the vehicle is registered out of state, and even if they do… having a different license plate doesn’t give them a legal reason to pull you over. How can I operate legally if it’s registered out of state? ![]() The solution is to register somewhere else, in a state where go karts can be made street legal and registered for road use. The problem is that most states don’t have a clear way to make a go kart street legal, and many don’t let you do it at all. The requirements are much more lenient than one would expect, especially for a machine that is believed to be impossible to register. The standard documents required to prove ownership include:Ī Copy of Your ID, Drivers License, or PassportĪ Picture of Your Social Security Number (to verify you are yourself) When you have a close relationship with state DMVs like we do, it allows you to know the exact qualifications necessary to legalize your kart. Safety should not be taken for granted and if you follow the rules above for consistent accident handling you will make sure yourself and your kart make it through the season.How Can I Street Legalize a Go-Kart? Personal documents needed to legalize Its important to follow proper consistent procedures so that your actions are predictable to everyone. When you are in an accident you are vulnerable to getting hit by other drivers. Fighting will only get you ejected from the race. Officials will handle disqualifications after the race or black flag the offending driver. Never fight another racer, regardless of who caused the go kart crashes. Whatever you do, do not try to put out any fire yourself. ![]() The gas tanks are only plastic and will ignite (I have seen it happen). In the event of a fire get out of the kart and get as far away as you can. In the event of a spin-out kart crash, if your kart is still in working order, get out of the racing line, and work on getting back into the race, once you are back up to speed continue racing. Even once your kart is pulled off the track you should stand even further away from the race. Now carefully pull off the track entirely and pull your kart well away from the edge of the track (if you can). Remember if you are having any sort of issue with your kart it is safest to give up the racing line and let your competitors pass. In the event of a flat of popped chain it is best to slow your speed by breaking lightly, get out of the racing line and have one hand up (if you have control) to indicate to the other racers that you are having issues and to either slow or pass. Now with that out of the way let’s talk about how to behave when it’s your accident. Your racing line is not as important as the life of the person who has gotten in a crash. If one happens in front of you slow down and respect the safety of the person who crashed.
