Indiana: transferring a plate to another person
UnKnown
How To Accomplish
Lapsed plates reissued to others
Transfer permission is not necessarily permission to accept payment.
Confirm current requirements for your plate type with the issuing agency before proceeding.
Process, conditions, and sources
- What I found:
- A personalized plate can be issued only to the owner or lessee of the vehicle it goes on.
- If it goes unregistered for more than a year past expiration, it becomes available to anyone the following January 1.
- Source: Available with Pro or Premium
Before arranging a transfer
- Confirm whether transfer to this recipient and payment are permitted.
- Ask which forms, fees, plate classes, and vehicle-transfer conditions apply.
- Confirm how the agency protects the requested configuration during the process.
- Get the agency’s instructions before releasing your rights or paying the other person.
