I have experience with using a Manufacture’s Certificate Of Origin (MCO), 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 learning the differ3ences between a motorcycle title and a Manufacture’s Certificate Of Origins (MCO).
Manufacture’s Certificate Of Origin (MCO) Always?
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 motorcycle rider(Pa Motorcycle Learner’s Permit at the end of 2020, and I received a full M-Class Pa Motorcycle License in 2021, only after passing the Pa Motorcycle Safety Course).
I bought my first motorcycle, a TaoTao TBR7 (A Chinese Dual-sport motorcycle), 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 motorcycle in 2022, and that little Grom-Clone bike 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.
