What Is A Manufacture’s Certificate Of Origin (MCO) – FAQ

Now that I’ve bought two motorcycles(a TaoTao TBR7 dual-sport and a Grom-Clone Boom Vader motorcycle) direct from importers, I’ve had to deal with Manufacture’s Certificate Of Origins (MCO) and learned the difference between them and a motorcycle title.

The manufacturer issues a Manufacturer’s Certificate Of Origin, essentially a vehicle’s birth certificate. Governing bodies don’t issue the MCO. The MCO is just proof of creation.

The MCO contains information like VIN, Make, model, manufacturer, and location of creation.

The MCO is issued once upon manufacturing the vehicle. Or my case, the motorcycles.

Hi I’m Tom, A New Motorcycle Rider and Blog Author.

I am a new rider(Pa Learners Permit at the end of 2020, and I received a Pa Motorcycle License in 2021 after passing a Motorcycle Safety Course).

I bought my first motorcycle, a TaoTao TBR7, at the beginning of 2021 and have been doing upgrades on that motorcycle since.

I added to my motorcycle collection by buying a Boom Vader Gen 2 in 2022, and that Grom-Clone motorcycle has been upgraded by me as well.

I continue to ride my Boom Vader Gen 2 motorcycle as well as my TaoTao TBR7 dual-sport bike.

Fun Fact: I’ve only been on one group ride.
