Motorcycle Registration in Bangladesh: Cost, Documents, Renewal, and Other Details

The motorcycle registration process is very time-consuming. A Motorcycle can be registered in two ways. One is the online method and the other is from the Showroom.

After buying a motorcycle a valid license is required to ride it. We register it for this license.

In this post, I will give a detailed discussion about how to register a motorcycle, where to go, how much is the registration fee, etc.

Bike Registration

When we buy a new motorcycle we are given a temporary license for three months by the showroom. This license expires after three months. Then we can’t ride motorcycles anywhere.

Driving a motorcycle without a license is punishable by various fines and a case is filed against it. We all should buy a motorcycle and get it registered even if it costs money.

There are several steps for motorcycle registration in Bangladesh. Motorcycle registration can be done in two ways.

One is that you can register the motorcycle from the showroom from which you buy the motorcycle. But it will increase your cost a little.

On the other hand, if you want to reduce the cost a little, you can go to the BRTA office and register your motorcycle yourself.

It costs a little less but the trouble is a little more. Not only this, it is also time-consuming.
