Purdue Pride on the highway…
It’s Easy
To purchase or renew, simply go to your local BMV office and request the Purdue Plate.
Due to changes in the Purdue License Plate Program, a form is no longer needed, but the $25 donation is required each year to keep the plate. This donation will be made at the license branch with your other fees and it will be included on the registration form you receive from the state.
You may renew your Purdue plate by e-mail or by using any express renewal service offered by the BMV, including phone, online, or self-service terminals.
You’ll Be Supporting a Worthy Cause
Through the Purdue “Ride with Pride” program, you can show your support of Purdue while also helping to support the University’s General Scholarship Fund. The license plate program, which began in 1991, has raised more than $4,000,000 for scholarships.
To participate, you purchase a special Purdue plate to replace your standard state license plate. In Indiana, the plate is legal for passenger cars, recreational vehicles, and trucks that weigh less than 11,000 pounds.
