Current Odometer Reading
Insurance Information: Name of insurance company, policy number, and policy expiration date.
Lienholder Information: The name and address of any current lienholders.
Valid Identification: A primary document.
Vehicle Ownership Document: Current vehicle title, Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin, or Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin.

Out-of-State Purchase

Alternative Ownership Documents: If the current out-of-state title is not available, Minnesota may accept the most recent registration card, a copy of the out-of-state title marked “COPY,” a confirmation of ownership, title application receipt, web dealer title, title summary, or electronic title copy. A Minnesota title will only be issued once the most current out-of-state title is submitted.
