hey everyone, im new to this forum, but i just bought a trike from china, it came with a certificate of origin, bill of lading, and MCO/MSO, but i lost the MCO/MSO, and they wont send another. i tried asking. and ive looked everywhere. my apartment looks like it was robbed from me turning the place upside down. anyway, is it possible for me to use something like this go get another one made?

also, is will a bill of lading or certificate of origin work as a bill of sale?

Sorry, but I don't know what you should do next.
-I will post your question on some other China forums to see if they have any ideas.

I have read on a few forums that you can get a tag in Vermont through the mail without the MCO/MSO. Then you can transfer the tag to your state and receive a title.
May be worth a try. Links below.

Here is a post from another site where somebody lived in Texas, but registered their scooter in Vermont. It may work for you.
"Assuming that it is not stolen, an easy way to get it titled/registered/legally yours would be to register it in Vermont (they have liberal registration laws there, Google it and you'll find search results on it). Fill out the registration form and the cost would be around $73, I believe for any purchase price under $500. They will give you a plate and registration making you legal. If you then chose to re-register/title it in your state it should not be a problem to work with your local DMV.

This process worked for me and a 2006 Genuine Black Cat that I bought without a title and wanted to operate in Texas (which does require registration of 50cc scooters). I have a current Vermont plate and registration on the scooter. I haven't re-registered the bike in Texas but will try to do so when my current plate expires in August. If Texas won't allow me to register it there I will just renew the Vermont registration."
