Vehicle ownership when crossing boarders
I know that I will need both the bike registration and title (and copies) with me as I transit from country to country in South America. My son and I will be riding together. However, both bikes are registered and titled in my name only.

Will it present an issue at the boarders if my son's bike is in my name if I am present also?

this topic has been mentioned many times the only advise is to go for it and publish the out come you will never know until you do it
dont rely on previous posters experience do your research and throw the dice that's how the world works especially in developing nations you have to gamble nothing is for sure
let us know how it turned out dont let this web site make your determinations

Hello

Why don't you just transfer the papers to your son?
Once you are back home, transfer it back to you.

Are these border crossings recent or pre-pandemic?

I've been riding a motorcycle, that wasn't registered on my name, for the last 4 months through Colombia, Brazil, Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana. Without problems.
Regards
Joe

At the border you make a temporary import, even though is a simple form, thats what it is. The person importing the bike must be the owner or some one authorized by the owner via a power of atorney AKA Poder. In this case since you are the owner of both bikes, you should fill up the temp import papers for both bikes. Thats the right way to do it. Yet, you could find a border officer that lets your son fill the import papers even when he is not the owner. In any case you will be fine.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
