You must register your motor vehicle within 30 days after the purchase or 60 days after moving to the state. Regarding insurance requirements, you will need to have auto insurance of at least $25,000 in coverage for each person injured and not less than $50,000 totally for everyone injured in a car accident. The vehicle registration will cost you around $25, and some other taxes or fees might be applied.
Indiana laws require all vessels powered by motors including electric trolling motors to be documented in the state registry. New boat owners have 45 days to register their boats; new state residents transferring a vessel from another state have 60 days. The registration should be renewed once a year. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) deals with all boat registrations. The length of the boat will determine the fee for registration.
No specific laws in the State of Indiana set the requirement of the registration of guns. Considering there is no firearms registry in Indiana, you also don’t have to register the change of gun ownership. Also, it is lawful for residents with an Indiana License to Carry a Handgun (LCH) and for non-residents with any valid state license to carry.
Use this form along with the bill of sale form 44237 to ensure there are no odometer discrepancies.
