Are you purchasing through a dealer?

When purchasing through a dealer the dealer has to prove the letter from the tax department. If not, don't buy.

This is a second bike, 7,000+ km... The dealer says he will give me the tax letter if/when I buy ... Then I will go to Dept of Transportation and attempt to register it in my name. I guess I will need photos, passport, 10 or 20 bucks. And the tax paperwork. It is only 50cc.

I just want to know if the Department of Transportation in the far north of Phnom Penh is the correct office to get plates and registration. (That is the same office you go to do written and road tests for driver's licenses...)

Yes, that's where you can get the plates, but I have heard several foreigners complain they will refuse to register the first registration in a foreigners name.

I believe that is backwards. I believe the law here is you cannot register a bike in your name if it has already been registered here before. New bikes or imported bikes that have no plates and never been registered in Cambodia before can be registered in your name with ID card.

Maybe the issue was them trying to do it themselves?

Yes, I am talking self-attempts. Here in Ratanakiri even the dealer can not get it into the foreigner's name.

Wow. I just got mine at the end of July and I got it registered and ID card in my name here in Phnom Penh.

Different rules for different places I guess.
