Bike not on my name, border crossing
 

Hello, i am the guy who did what you wont do, because you wanna get a moto and actually be able to ride it around the mainland. (bought another travelers bike for cheap) Although, this is the school of life, and im happy for every problem i got, because i simpley like growing.

Any way, i need your halp with a straight and absolut answer. Im in brasil now (rj/sp), the bike has a colombian plate and the temporary permit here is good for more 20 days. no option for extantion or anything else because the papers are not on my name and the first owner, the seller, he left the south amrica land already. So, me my self, i have more visa time here, but the bike should leave brasils border in 20 days. Now, i have been told once already by a travler, that countries dosnt let you in with an ownership that is not on your name.

But What i have now is a ownership original doc of the bike and a contract with this name on my name. The contract was stamped and declared by an official declaration (declaração) in sao paulo after Consulting with the local police on the situation i was into. That Declaration will probebly halp me inside brasil with a local police, but i dont know what is up in the longer trem, in time and space. So the question left now is:

i need to get to colombia, the official homeland of the bike, and get my docs well, maybe. Now, is it possible and i should try to cross to bolivia for exemple (dont have time to get to peru [4000km/20days/new rider] and venezuela is not verry possible for an israeli passport holder) and then cross to peru and finally get to colombia successfully, or i should sale the bike to a farmer asap and get some of my money back for at least?

Thank you for your time and my be all ride are way to the absolut good, Namaste

Hi,

do you have a notary permit from original owner ?

I do not understand the part of the ownership, is the bike now in your name, or in both names (shared ownership), and why didn't you transfer the bike into your name?

Notary permit could be of help to cross the borders if the bike is in the name of the original owner.

I believe you have some sort of third party liability insurance policy, right?

Stay safe,

Cheers
