Registration and License Plate Fees

Subscribe for e-mail updates

Most vehicle registrations may be renewed online or by using a Self-Service Terminal. All vehicle registrations may be renewed by visiting any Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles license branch.

When renewing your registrations, you will pay an excise tax fee and a registration fee. Customers living in certain counties will also pay a surtax or wheel tax. If you are purchasing a special license plate you will also have to pay an administrative fee in addition to the taxes and registration fees. Some groups that administer specialty license plates also charge additional fees.
