Manufacturers Certificate of Origin

When a manufacturer produces a mobile/manufactured home they issue a Manufacturers Certificate of Origin (MCO) or Manufacturers Statement of Origin (MSO). This official document is considered to be a “birth certificate” for a mobile/manufactured home and contains information about the year model, manufacturer, model name, identification number, weight, etc.

The Manufacturers Certificate of Origin is required to be filed with the state when applying for the first title. Only concern yourself with this if purchasing new from factory or dealership. Please note that possessing a statement of origin for the mobile home is not enough for proof of ownership—a valid state issued Title is required except for Texas, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
