Riding with Pride Just Got Easier
The Butler University license plate validation and acquisition
process changed in 2008. Getting a BU license plate is easier now
more than ever! Anyone can purchase a Butler license plate through
the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). For new orders,
download and print a copy of the BU
license plate order form (PDF) to mail in with your renewal
form.
I'm renewing my Butler license plate. What is the new
process?
The new process is similar to what you've done in the past, just
more streamlined. After receiving the BMV notice to renew your
license plate, proceed as you typically would by renewing directly
at your local branch, at a self-service terminal, online or by mail.
When prompted to choose a Plate Type, simply
select Butler University - SP. If you'd like a Butler motorcycle
plate, select Butler University - MC. Also be sure to CHECK THE BOX
to elect tax benefits for your purchase.
The $25 group fee, which is a donation to Butler University,
will now be collected by the BMV as part of the regular renewal
process. University issued Butler license plate forms are
no longer necessary. The university cannot validate license plate
forms. *

I've never had a Butler license plate. How do I 'Ride with
Pride' in 2009?
After receiving the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles notice to
renew your license plate, proceed as you typically would by
renewing through the BMV directly at your local branch, online or
by mail. If you have never had a BU plate, you CANNOT order one
online or through a self-service terminal. Download
and print a copy of the BU license plate order form (PDF). Fill
out the form and send it in along with your renewal form to the
BMV.
When choosing a Plate Type, simply select
Butler University - SP. If you'd like a Butler
motorcycle plate, select Butler University - MC.
Also be sure to CHECK THE BOX to elect tax benefits for your
purchase.
A $25 group fee, which is a donation to Butler University, will
be collected by the BMV as part of the regular renewal process.
Thank you for showing your pride in Butler University and for your
$25 donation.*

*Note: In order for Butler to identify you as a donor, the
CHECKBOX must be selected, OR you must fax, email or mail your BMV
receipt to the Office of Annual Giving. You will
then be issued a confirmation.
Now Available!
The BMV revised the renewal process and rather than sending a
receipt to the Butler University Office of Annual Giving, you'll
simply need to CHECK THE BOX to elect tax benefits
for your purchase. Checking the box online or on your BMV paperwork
will allow you to receive tax credit for your purchase and will
identify you as a donor to Butler.
Remember, failure to CHECK THE BOX means the
Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles is not allowed to inform Butler of
your plate purchase. That means the University will not be able to
acknowledge your support and count you as a donor. If you forget to
CHECK THE BOX, you can still get donor credit by
sending a copy of your BMV receipt to the Office of Annual
Giving.
