INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles has announced that the BMV’s popular blackout plate design will soon be available for standard disability plates beginning Feb. 13. Just like the standard version of the blackout plate, the disability plate features an all-black backg round with crisp white lettering in addition to the International Symbol of Access. The disability blackout plate will be available for passenger motor vehicles, trucks (11,000 lbs. or less), motorcycles, and RVs for eligible customers. According to BMV Indiana, in just six months, over 105,000 Hoosiers have chosen the plate for their vehicles, making it one of the most popular alternative plate designs on the road. Anyone needing to apply to be eligible for a disability plate can complete an application for disability license plate or parking placard by submitting it to a local BMV branch. Eligible Hoosiers whose registration is up for renewal will be able to purchase the disability blackout plate for an additional $45 by visiting a BMV branch. If any eligible Hoosier, would like to replace their current disability plate to the blackout version before its expiration, a $9.50 replacement fee will be applied on top of the $45 fee for the plate. The disability blackout plate will also be available to be personalized for another $45 fee. For a complete list of branch locations and hours, visit the BMV’s website. ...read more read less
