Q: can I register a 125 cc dirt bike I bought off of Amazon to make it Street legal in georgia?
I have all the things to make it Street legal(horn,lights,blinker,etc). I was wondering if I can just go to the tag office and change it from a MOS to a georgia title. Also what other documents do I need along with this process?

A:
In Georgia, converting a dirt bike to be street legal involves several steps. First, ensure your dirt bike meets all the necessary equipment requirements for street-legal vehicles, such as headlights, taillights, turn signals, a horn, and mirrors. Next, you will need to have the bike inspected to verify that it meets these requirements.
After passing inspection, you'll need to obtain a title for the bike if it doesn't already have one. This typically involves submitting the bill of sale, proof of insurance, and the inspection certificate to the Georgia Department of Revenue. Once you have the title, you can apply for registration and a license plate at your local tag office.
Keep in mind that each state has specific rules and regulations, so it's important to check with Georgia's Department of Revenue or a local tag office for detailed requirements and procedures. Also, consider consulting with an attorney or a local DMV office for guidance specific to your situation.
