Motorcycle title
 

Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Mexico and Central America in 2004 and have read that I require a title document for my bike. In my home province of Quebec, we have a small wallet size registration card, but no official title document is avilable. Could anyone tell me if this is good enought to travel with in these regions, or would I need a noterized document? Also this registration is in French. My birth cirtificate is also a new ( post 9-11 )French wallet size. Sould I try to get an 8.5 X 11 one?

Hi Moflow and welcome to the HUBB!

Your Quebec registration document will be fine, in Canada it is the equivalent of the title. It might save some hassle at borders if you have it translated into English and/or Spanish and get the translation notarized, if that's not too difficult to do.

As for your birth certificate, you should have a passport anyway for travel outside Canada, so there is no need for a large version of the birth certificate.

Good luck and let us know how you go! Don't forget to check out the rest of the site (see menu on the left) and use the Search function (top right of every page) to find out information for your trip planning.

Moflow:

It will probably save you a great deal of trouble (most of it with the USA) if you get a passport, rather than trying to travel only with a birth certificate.

If you have a valid passport, then you have no need for a birth certificate. The only exception to this would be if you ask the Canadian passport office to NOT put your place of birth on the passport (an uncommon request, but something they will do if asked) - in that case, some countries will want proof of where you were born, since it is not shown on the passport.
