Default Matricula

I don't know if motorcycles are the same as cars, but for the car I went with the broker to Sto Domingo (4th flr of the appropriate building) with all the paperwork. Import papers, paid duties, etc

The only confusing thing was they wanted one more piece of information to prove that "the vehicle" was "the vehicle in question". At the port, they took the VIN from the ownership, the dashboard and the door panel. BUT - They never stepped off the 4th floor to verify the VIN.
What they wanted was further verification.

I went down to the street and retrieved the original invoice(paid) and the window sticker from the dealer and a reciept for $19.95 oil change.

You guessed it - they jumped on that oil change receipt as "proof positive" and ignored the Bill of Sale and the window sticker.

Sooo, you really do not need the vehicle/motorcycle to be present to get the plates and matricula.

Hope this helps.
