I would just ask them print it out and hand it to me. I would refuse to accept a USB stick.

Our mortgage paperwork and everything associated with our house was scanned and given to us on a bank branded USB drive. I have zero problems with this. It actually fits in our small lockbox.

My mom’s past two cars (leased) were like this, albeit with a less edgelordy stick. It was a tiny, searchable PDF that we could transfer to our phones. Frankly super convenient after the first tiny hurdle of loading it, though I can see how some less-tech-savvy folk could struggle with it.

I don’t trust dealerships as it is, even less so when it comes to security after the hack a couple months ago. Email me the forms or host them on something like docusign.

Everyone is saying they wouldn’t put that flash drive into their computer, and I get it. If you find a random drive somewhere don’t do that, but if you get it from a reputable organization or company what’s the problem? Is it any different from buying a new one on Amazon and using it?

BMW around 2013 used to give you a BadUSB card that would pretend to be a keyboard, open a command prompt, and directly type a command to open your browser to send you to their website.

We received a digital copy on a thumb drive when we bought our last car. I thought it was a regular thing now.
