Announce service adjustments at BMV branches

Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) Commissioner Peter L. Lacy announced the following service adjustments included in Executive Order 20-05 issued by Indiana Governor Eric J. Holcomb on March 19.

These adjustments are designed to assist with the state’s efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and protect BMV employees and the public. In-branch visits to the BMV should be used only when absolutely necessary.

The following changes will be effective today and remain in place for the next 60 days:

Administrative penalty fees waived (more commonly called late fees) – if a renewal cannot be done online, this change eliminates the need to go to a branch during this emergency time due to expiration date.

 The following administrative penalty fees will be waived:

• Late driver’s license or identification card renewals.

• Late vehicle registration renewals.

• Late title transactions.

• Late ORV and snowmobile registration renewals.

• Late salvage titles.

Out-of-branch transaction requirements – the BMV will restrict several transactions to out-of-branch only. Those transactions include:

• Registration renewal for vehicles.

• Replacement documents for driver’s licenses and identification cards, registration and title.

More information including a full list of available transactions can be found on the BMV website: https://www.in.gov/bmv/4363.htm.

Credit card fees for online transactions will be waived. Indiana law provides for BMV to collect an online fee to cover the cost of the transaction. These fees will be waived under these changes.

The BMV website will be updated regularly with all closures. A full list of modifications, closures and available services can be found by visiting www.in.gov/bmv/4363.htm.
