INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Officials with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced Friday that it issued about 70,000 Blackout license plates in its first three months of availability.
The BMV says the black license plates, introduced Aug. 8, generated more than $2.3 million to be reinvested to the agency. The special plates now rival some of the agency’s highest-selling Special Group Recognition plates.
Indiana BMV Commissioner Kevin Garvey says it’s all about giving drivers options.
“The Blackout plate is proving to be a popular option, and the numbers prove it,” Garvey said in a press release. “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 complements other style choices on their vehicle.”
Starting in 2026, the agency will offer the “Blackout” option for disability plates.
Plate designs can be picked in person at any BMV branch, online or at a BMV Connect Kiosk.
