1999 Minnesota Statutes

     168.13 Proof of ownership. 

    The registrar shall approve no application and issue no 
 number plates for any motor vehicle, unless and until the title 
 certificate theretofore issued under chapter 168A is delivered 
 to the registrar, who shall be satisfied from the records that 
 all taxes and fees due hereunder shall have been paid, and 
 endorsements upon the certificate are in writing and have been 
 signed by the seller and purchaser.  

    Motor vehicles brought into Minnesota from other states 
 shall not be registered or have number plates issued therefor 
 until such registration certificate or other evidence of title 
 as may reasonably be required from the registrant within that 
 state be surrendered to the registrar in the same manner as 
 certificates of this state, or in lieu thereof, such view and 
 evidence of the chain of ownership be had as will assure the 
 payment of the proper tax so long as the motor vehicle shall be 
 in the state.
