News: Special Plate Participants –
Important Update from the Indiana BMV August 2010:
With the number of BMV initiatives planned for the 2011 year, the new format special plates will not be issued to all customers in 2011. The plate type will continue to follow the current plate cycle of 2007-2012 with the new plate year beginning in 2012. Please note the following information:
New customers registering a special recognition plate will receive the new format plate in 2011. Existing customers will receive a sticker upon renewal for their current plate in 2011 and the new format plate in 2012.
Low digit plate holders will remain the same for the 2011 registration year. Low digit lists will be updated in 2011 for the 2012 new plate year.
One of the 2011 initiatives includes allowing customers to retain their current plate number. Existing customers will receive a sticker upon renewal in 2011 and will not be affected. Customers will not need to rush to the BMV at the beginning of a new plate cycle to ensure they receive a specific high-digit plate. Customers registered to a high-digit plate will receive that same plate number automatically in 2012 without any additional fees.
The 2011 registration year begins January 1, 2011. Historically, the BMV has begun selling registrations one month before the new year but this will not be the case for 2011. Customers will be able to order 2011 plates on January 1, 2011.
Indiana Career Professional Fire Fighters
Special Recognition License Plates
The Indiana Fire Fighters’ special recognition license plate is available to Fire Fighters and their families along with individuals who want to show their support for the career Fire Fighters in the state of Indiana.
No authorization forms are required to
obtain the special plates as of January 1, 2007.
Simply request the plates when you visit the Bureau of Motor Vehicles License Branch in your community. The funds collected through purchases of the special plates will benefit Fire Fighters throughout the state of Indiana through programs sponsored by the Professional Fire Fighters Union of Indiana, the Indiana Fire Fighters Association, and the Indiana Fire Chiefs Association.
These special plates are available for any passenger vehicle, trucks under 16,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, recreational vehicles, and motorcycles.
The cost to individuals for the special recognition plate is an additional $40.00 over your normal vehicle plate registration fees. Of this amount, $25.00 goes to the sponsoring organizations and $15.00 is assessed by the BMV. The Bureau of Motor Vehicle collects the fees and will remit our organization’s dedicated funds to us annually.
Your support of this program is greatly appreciated by the Fire Fighters around the state. If you have any questions regarding the Indiana Career Professional Fire Fighters License Plate program please contact the PFFUI Secretary-Treasurer Mike Pinkham at mikepinkham@aol.com or our office at 317/630-1840.
