I live in Kansas, am based in MSP, and bought a crash pad car from my brother in Indiana. Kansas wanted a title inspection done in Kansas in order to issue plates. I wasn't about to drive the car all the way back just to get a 15 minute VIN and blinker inspection. After several phone calls telling me I had no choice other than bringing it back, I found an online form to get the car inspected by a MSP police officer. The condition was that they would not issue a title until the car came back to get an inspection. The lady at the court house must have been confused, because I got a title in the mail two weeks later.
