The buyer does their own paperwork at their Secretary of State (SOS) office. If we sell a snowmobile with a Bill of Sale only, buyers from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin can register the snowmobile at their SOS. Buyers from anywhere else cannot, but anyone can obtain a Michigan registration at a Michigan SOS office with a White Star Auction Bill of Sale.

  If we sell an ORV with the previous owner’s title, you can title it in any state or Canada. The buyer does their own paperwork at their SOS office.
