If a person buys a car in Florida for someone living in Indiana do they have to have Florida license plates?

Question

This car was purchased in Indiana from Florida over the phone for a person in Indiana. It had to be done that way because the person needed a car, and their credit was bad. What can be done to keep the plate, insurances to be paid in Indiana?

Answer 1

The license plates and tabs must be current when you drive the vehicle from Florida to Indiana, or you could purchase trip permits, allowing you enough time to get to Indiana, and complete your title transaction. Once the vehicle reaches Indiana, you will need to follow Indiana laws in regard to the plates and tabs, obviously they will need to be changed to an Indiana plate. If you purchase new plates and tabs in Florida, you will not receive credit for the current tabs. You also will not be able to keep the insurance, you will be required to get your own insurance, in your name. If the city you reside in requires emission testing, that too will need to be completed before plates/tabs are issued. A state patrol inspection is also required for out of state vehicles registering in a different state.

Answer 2

I believe that you can get an out of state temporary plate in Florida to drive the car to Indiana. You would have to check with the Florida DMV. If they issue them, you will just need the title signed by the seller and the buyers name and out of state address. They are usually good for 20 to 30 days to allow they buyer to get the vehicle to his home state. There is usually a nominal fee like 5 to 10 to get the temporary. Some states call them out of state transport tags, or in transit tags.

Answer 3

in case you reside in manhattan and the automobile is in manhattan continuously for 30 days, the regulations require which you sign in it in manhattan. in case you have no longer completed this to keep away from wearing the mandatory coverage, the fees may well be working the two an unregistered and an uninsured automobile. this is plenty extra low fee to get issues straightened around with the mandatory fines and surcharges.
