BMV penalty fees resume

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) reminds Hoosiers that administrative penalty fees (late fees) will resume Wednesday.

All Hoosiers with expired driver’s licenses, permits, state identification cards, and vehicle registrations need to complete renewal transactions before Wednesday to avoid paying an administrative penalty fee. Title transactions and new vehicle registrations must also meet that deadline

Administrative penalty fees were waived early in the COVID-19 pandemic to limit the spread of the virus.

Hoosiers may complete transactions in a branch, with the exception of driving skills exams. Beginning in early July, individuals who had a driving skill exam canceled due to the public health emergency will be contacted to reschedule. The BMV anticipates opening new appointments for driving skills exams in late July.

Hoosiers are encouraged to complete transactions online through myBMV. Individuals may also visit a BMV Connect kiosk, call the contact center, or return registration renewals through USPS using preprinted forms. For more information, visit in.gov/BMV.
