Is an electronic signature valid?

Yes. Electronic signatures are enforceable under the federal ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and state UETA statutes where adopted, provided intent, consent, attribution, and retention are satisfied.

Not necessarily. Most non-racing agreements do not require notarization, but specific registries, title filings, or state rules may require notarization or witnesses; check the local requirement before filing.

Can I use an image of a signature?

Yes, an uploaded signature image can form an electronic signature if linked to an audit trail showing signer intent and attribution; stronger authentication reduces dispute risk.

What if parties have different legal names?

Names must match title or corporate records. Mismatched names can invalidate the registration or trigger insurer rejection; attach proof of name change or corporate authorization when necessary.

How long should I retain signed copies?

Retain executed agreements for the contract term plus at least three years; for tax, insurance, or health records follow applicable federal or state retention rules.

Can I notarize remotely?

Remote online notarization (RON) is permitted in many states with specific identity-proofing and recording rules; verify your state’s RON status and compliance requirements before proceeding.

What the NRA Registration of a Non-Racing Agreement Is

The NRA Registration of a Non-Racing Agreement documents a contractual promise that a vehicle, vessel, or asset will not be used for racing, high-speed contests, or similar competitive activities and records that promise with a registration or filing when required. Organizations use it to protect insurance coverage, lease terms, title transfers, or event participation eligibility. The registration typically identifies parties, the asset, effective dates, limitations, and remedies for breach. This page explains key fields, finishing steps, legal validity, and typical filing or distribution channels for U.S. use.

Why registering a Non-Racing Agreement matters

A registered Non-Racing Agreement creates a clear, dated record showing parties’ mutual promise to restrict racing use, supports insurance and contractual protections, and reduces disputes. Proper registration helps enforce remedies and documents notice to third parties such as insurers or lienholders.

Who typically prepares or submits this registration

Organizations and individuals use this registration when insurance, leasing, or title conditions require formal non-racing covenants; common filers include owners, lessees, fleet managers, and insurers.

Vehicle owners and lessees who must certify restricted use under insurance or lease agreements.
Insurance companies and brokers documenting exclusions or endorsements tied to non-racing covenants.
Dealers, fleet managers, and lessors needing a recorded covenant as part of asset management.

Filing or sharing the completed registration with insurers, lessors, or the entity named in the underlying contract completes the process and preserves contractual protections.

Who can sign

Individual Owner

A titled owner who appears on the vehicle or asset title may sign. If joint owners exist, all listed owners should sign or provide documented authority to a signing party to avoid later disputes about enforceability.

Corporate Signatory

An authorized officer, manager, or agent may sign for a business entity. The signer should have board resolution or corporate authorization when required by the entity’s governance documents to show authority.

Relying on a scanned initialed page without an audit trail or clear signer attribution when electronic execution is challenged.
