Most vehicle registrations may be renewed online through myBMV or by using a Self-Service Terminal. A personal myBMV account is a virtual license branch that gives you more information about your records as well as the ability to securely access many services online.

Every vehicle registered in Indiana must bear a license plate in a visible location on the rear of the vehicle. Regular license plates are issued for vehicles registered in Indiana every four years, or when a newly acquired vehicle is registered in the state, or when a vehicle owner becomes a resident of the state. Whether registering your vehicle for the first time or renewing your registration, you will pay an excise tax fee and a registration fee. Customers living in certain counties will also pay a surtax or wheel tax.

All affidavits related to BMV transactions are $5.
