Ava's answer
Prepare for Indiana private-party title transfer using the official agency instructions. Confirm current requirements before visiting.
- Check agency requirements: Get the seller-completed assignment on the title, with purchaser information and signatures.
- Complete the agency step: Apply for the title through Indiana BMV; out-of-state titled vehicles may require a VIN inspection.
