Re: Manufactured (Mobile) Home VIN Assignment and Title Application Requirements
The BMV is providing the below information to assist customers with obtaining a vehicle identification number to satisfy the requirements as enacted in Indiana Code 6-1.1-7-16.
• All manufactured homes are required to have a valid VIN/Serial Number attached and be titled.
• If an owner wishes to apply for a title and/or needs a VIN for the home and does not have a properly executed certificate of title or certificate of origin, a Court Order is required before the BMV can issue a state assigned VIN or a title.
For information on VIN and title application requirements with a court order as the ownership document please visit the myBMV.com website. Applications can be obtained from any local license branch as well but must be mailed with all required documents to the BMV Central Office in Indianapolis for processing:
