Registering a Golf Cart: Street Legal Requirements

When it comes to registering a golf cart as street legal, there are certain requirements that need to be met. If these requirements are not fulfilled, the golf cart may not be classified as street legal for registration. Here's what you need to know:

SPU Assistance

If you have questions or concerns about registering your golf cart, it is recommended to contact SPU (State Processing Unit) for further assistance. They can provide guidance on the necessary steps to take in order to register your vehicle.

Visit a DMV Field Office

Another option is to visit a DMV field office for in-person assistance with registering your golf cart. The staff at the field office can help you navigate through the registration process and ensure that all requirements are met.

Efiling Nonresident Street Legal Golf Carts

If you have a nonresident street legal golf cart, you can efile without any issues. This streamlined process allows for efficient registration of your vehicle without unnecessary complications.

Registering Purchased Golf Carts from Elsewhere

If you have purchased a street legal golf cart from elsewhere and need to register it, here's what you should do:

• Dealer Desk Process: You can register the golf cart through the dealer desk by processing it as a "MISC" transaction type. This does not require an RS (Registration Specialist) for processing.
• New Unit Not Manufactured by Your Dealership: If the golf cart is brand new and not manufactured by the units sold at your dealership, it will need to be sent to the field office (IBC) for processing.
