The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is pleased to update Hoosiers that sales of the new Blackout license plate now rival many of our highest-selling Special Group Recognition(SGR) license plates, generating over $2.3 million to be reinvested in the agency.
As of this week, approximately 70,000 vehicles are now sporting the new Blackout license plates. Indiana's sales numbers have outpaced other states' version of the plate. While many of the Blackout license plates sold have been to standard passenger vehicles, the BMV would like to remind customers that the Blackout plate is also available for light trucks(11,000 lbs. or less), motorcycles, and RVs.
“We do our best to give our customers options,” said Commissioner Kevin Garvey. “The Blackout plate is proving to be a popular option, and the numbers prove it. I want all Hoosier drivers to know that the Blackout plate is an option for not only their cars, but trucks, motorcycles, and RVs too. Many of our customers want a plate that matches and compliments other style choices on their vehicle.”
Additionally, a new disability Blackout plate option will be coming in 2026. Customers can choose Blackout or any other plate designs available in person at a BMV branch, online via myBMV.com, or at a BMV Connect Kiosk. Additional fees for the Blackout license plate will be applied.
For a complete list of branch locations and hours, to complete an online transaction, or to find a 24-hour BMV Connect kiosk near you, visit IN.gov/BMV.
