ABOUT THE LIBRARYBMV Partners with Libraries for Online Registration
Visitors to Indiana's public libraries are being encouraged to renew vehicle registrations online at the libraries' public access computers and receive the $5 discount from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Ron Stiver, Commissioner of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), was joined by Laura Johnson, Director of Community Libraries for the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library (IMCPL), and Carl Harvey, President of the Indiana Library Federation, at IMCPL's College Avenue Branch to announce that BMV information will be placed by 3,500 computers at 462 libraries throughout the state. Cards will remind customers about the $5 discount for online renewal and provide simple instructions for getting to the BMV Web site and transacting the renewal. BMV customers have already saved nearly $2.5 million by using the online renewal service, according to Stiver, noting that 23 percent of all registration renewals have been completed online compared to just 6% last year. "The BMV online option is a fast, secure and easy way for Hoosiers to renew their vehicle registrations and save $5 this year" he said. He reported that in a survey conducted in February, 2007, 17 percent of BMV customers said that they did not have immediate access to personal computers. Stiver thanked the libraries making the online renewal option available to these Hoosiers through the public access computers. On behalf of the Indiana Library Federation, Carl Harvey added, "Indiana public libraries have always strived to bring superior service and resources to their patrons as well as making collaborative connections with other organizations. In partnering with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to provide information cards, Indiana libraries now have yet another resource to share." Laura Johnson welcomed the opportunity for the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library to participate in the promotion. "As the largest library system in the state with 23 library locations and over 5 million yearly visitors, IMCPL is pleased to be a center where free access to our public computers will allow large numbers of citizens to take advantage of this important BMV service," Johnson stated. The $5 discount applies to 2008 registration renewals completed online through October 31, 2008. A customer does not need a registration renewal notice to complete the transaction, but will need:
