In the end the card arrived and I was able to continue the process of registering the motorcycle without issue. That said, before I even consulted a notaria and a lawyer who both said that it was to their understanding one ought to be able to register with the RUT without the physical card (carnet). The card took around 8 weeks to arrive. The problem being without registering the bike you can not do anything with it after 5 days from the point of purchase. This could be frustrating if you had planned a three month trip and had to wait two for the card to arrive!!
