When driving to a place of storage after a purchase, what is required?

When driving to a place of storage after purchasing a vehicle, it is required to have the title in your possession. This is important for a few reasons. First, the title serves as legal proof that you own the vehicle, which is essential when transporting it, particularly if it is not yet registered. Authorities may want to see the title to confirm that you have the right to move the vehicle and to check that it wasn’t stolen or otherwise misappropriated.

Having the title with you helps to avoid potential legal issues and ensures compliance with state laws regarding vehicle ownership and transportation. In the context of Indiana law, while there may be other documents that could be beneficial to have (like proof of insurance or a temporary permit), the title is the primary document that establishes your ownership and is explicitly required upon the purchase of a vehicle.
