To register your car in Indiana, you need to prepare the following documents and meet these requirements:

• A completed Application for Certificate of Title (Form 205)
• Your valid Indiana driver's license
• The original vehicle title; if the odometer reading is not on the title, an Odometer Disclosure Statement (Form 43230) is required
• Proof of Indiana car insurance
• Proof of Indiana residency
• Your Social Security Number
• Proof of vehicle inspection if applicable (required if the vehicle has never had an Indiana title; VIN inspection can be done free at BMV or by a police officer for a small fee)
• Payment for titling and registration fees, which vary by vehicle type and weight

Additional important points:

• You must complete the car title transfer within 45 days of purchase to avoid late fees
• A 7% sales tax on the vehicle purchase must be paid before applying for the Indiana title
• New residents have 60 days to register their vehicles after moving to Indiana
• Emissions inspections are required every 2 years after registration to keep the vehicle legal
• You can register in person at any BMV office if the vehicle was purchased more than 60 days ago or if you have not yet titled the vehicle
• If purchased within the last 60 days and the title application is submitted, you can use BMV Connect Kiosks or register online via the myBMV portal

In summary, gather all required documents, pay necessary fees, and submit your application either online (if eligible) or in person at a BMV office within the specified timeframes to register your vehicle in Indiana
