Will Indiana DMV tell me who owns a vehicle if I provide the title number?

No, the title number alone will not provide you with ownership information about a vehicle registered in Indiana. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) does not release personal information over the phone or online, including vehicle ownership details.

If you need to obtain vehicle ownership information in Indiana, there are a few things you will need to do:

Step 1: Go to a BMV Branch

Visit an Indiana BMV branch office and complete a Request for Current Ownership of Vehicle (Form 46249). This form can be obtained at the BMV branch or you can download it from the BMV website.

Step 2: Provide Vehicle Information

On the form, you will need to provide the following details:

- Title number of the vehicle.

- Year, make, and model of the vehicle.

- License plate number or VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).

Step 3: Provide Proof of Identity

Bring a valid government-issued identification document (e.g., driver's license, state ID) and present it at the BMV branch.

Step 4: Pay the Fee

Pay the processing fee, the cost is currently $5, according to Indiana BMV fee details.

Step 5: Receive Owner Information

Once your request is processed, the BMV will provide you with a Motor Vehicle Current Ownership Record, which will disclose the current owner's name, address, and mailing address.
