How to Register a Vehicle
To apply for registration online, you must first mail a completed Application for Certificate of Title (Form 205) to a BMV near you. Once approved, you must visit the MyBMV online registration portal and sign up for an online account (unless you already have an existing profile). Some required items needed for online registration include:
- Bill of Sale (Form 44237)
- Emissions Test: Required for residents of Lake and Porter counties.
- Proof of Address: If changing your legal address during the transaction, you must provide two proofs of address.
- Title: The vehicle must first be titled before it can be registered.
Out-of-State Purchase
- Indiana Title Required: A vehicle brought in from another state must still be titled before registration can be completed.
Notes
- Online registration is available only if the date of sale is less than 60 days old and the vehicle is not a lease vehicle.
