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.
