Sec. 4. (a) A certificate of title for a vehicle held by an Indiana resident who is serving in the armed forces of the United States may be transferred by the Indiana resident to another person if the Indiana resident authorizes the transfer by a letter signed by the Indiana resident. The letter must be accompanied by proof that the Indiana resident is actively serving in the armed forces of the United States and is outside Indiana.
(b) When the bureau receives the letter and proof described in subsection (a), the bureau may make the transfer to the person named in the letter.
(c) Whenever a transfer described in subsection (a) is made, the letter:
(1) must be attached to the certificate of title being transferred; and
(2) becomes a permanent record of the bureau.
(d) The bureau shall use reasonable diligence in determining if the signature of the person that signed the letter described in subsection (a) authorizing the transfer is the signature of the person.
(e) If the bureau is satisfied that the signature is the signature of the person that owns the vehicle described in the certificate of title, the bureau shall issue an appropriate certificate of title over the signature of the bureau and sealed with the seal of the bureau to the person named in the letter.
