Yes. Indiana has an explicit reciprocity statuteIC § 16-36-7-28(j)Verified Jun 11, 2026: a healthcare directive executed in another state is honored in Indiana if it was valid where signed or valid under the principal's domicile law. Indiana did NOT adopt UHCDA; enacted own advance directive law via SEA 204 (P.L.50-2021, eff. 7/1/2021). Per IC § 16-36-7-28(j), an advance directive executed in another state in compliance with that state's law or Indiana law is valid. The document portability tool covers reciprocity rules in detail.

Healthcare Proxy Signing in Indiana

Indiana's execution rule for a healthcare proxy: 2IC § 16-36-7-30 (sample forms; not mandatory)Verified Jun 11, 2026 witnesses, with notarization NoIC § 16-36-7-30 (sample forms; not mandatory)Verified Jun 11, 2026. The rules apply by state statute, not by where you signed, so a document signed elsewhere still has to clear Indiana's requirements when it's used here.

RON is a clean path for Indiana healthcare proxys: the state both authorizes RON itself and recognizes RON performed under other states' rules. Either route lets the notarization happen via secure video call rather than in person.
