If you've bought the bike from a friend or family member, you should get a signed receipt from them that gives you ownership. Take that bit of paper along when it's time to register. That's your "proof of ownership". >Is the serial number engraved into the frame someplace? Yes, it is. It's usually near the bottom bracket on the frame (where the pedals attach), but some bikes have it below the handlebars on the frame. The letters and numbers are stamped into the metal. If you built your frame yourself, you'll need to assign your own serial number. Stamping it into the frame would be a good idea. Any of the "government service centers" should be able to get your bike licensed. A few years back, the University of MN police station also would handle bike registrations, and that was by far the easiest place, since there was never a line to stand in. I don't know whether they still offer that service or not, but it would be worth checking if you're near there.
