How to Title a Non-Titled Golf Cart

Some states require golf carts to be titled in order to be legally driven.

Different states have different procedures and policies regarding the titling of golf carts. Some states do not require or allow golf carts to be titled, while others stipulate that golf carts must be titled and/or registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles or equivalent organization in order to be legally driven. Generally speaking, registration and titling can be handled through the DMV in your home state; processing time varies by jurisdiction.

Instructions

1. Determine the titling requirements in your state. In most jurisdictions, the DMV website provides detailed stipulations as to which vehicles must be titled. Keep in mind that for some states, titling procedures vary by local jurisdiction.

2. Assemble the documentation for your vehicle. Although requirements vary, you will typically need proof or purchase or other written documentation pertaining to your golf cart in order to register it. If you don't have these documents, contact the dealer that sold you your golf cart in order to obtain them.

3. Contact your local DMV. They will give you further instructions pertaining to the titling process in your jurisdiction. Generally, you will need to complete an application and mail it in to the DMV along with a small filing fee.
