Don’t know if it work in all countries and borders but if a bike is not registered in the name of the rider he will need a Power of Attorney from the registered owner to allow him to get a temporal import permit in his name and be able to ride the bike. Legally talking, this POA has to be a one made in the country where the bike is registered (translated to the language from where will be use if its need) with an “Apostille” usually made at consulates, embassies, maybe a court of law or international affairs offices. This (the Apostille) at entry or exist in Argentina by a non-registered owner by port or airport is IMPERATIVE for example.
“The Apostille convention or the Apostille treaty is an international treaty drafted by the Hague Conference on Private International Law. It specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory states. Such a certification is called an apostille (French: certification). It is an international certification comparable to a notarisation in domestic law.”
