A dealer must provide a buyer's temporary tag receipt to the buyer of each vehicle to which a buyer's temporary tag is issued regardless of whether the tag is issued in the ordinary course of business or is an Internet-down temporary tag. The dealer may print the image of the receipt issued from the database or construct the form using the same information. The dealer shall instruct the buyer to keep a copy of the receipt in the vehicle until the vehicle is registered in the buyer's name and metal plates are affixed to the vehicle. The receipt must include the following information.

1. (1) the issue date of the buyer's tag;
2. (2) the year, make, model, body style, color, and vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle sold;
3. (3) the vehicle-specific tag number;
4. (4) the expiration date of the tag;
5. (5) the date of the sale;
6. (6) the name of the issuing dealer and the dealer's license number; and
7. (7) the buyer's name and mailing address.
