The History of License Plates in Indiana
As most states in the United States, Indiana started issuing license plates in the beginning of the 1900’s which also meant they required vehicles that were to be registered with the state. The first Indiana registration plates only had 5 numeric digits and today they have 6 digits that are alpha-numeric and some with special characters or designations. One difference that Indiana still has with how they regulate license plates is they only require a rear license plate where most states require 2, one in the front and one in the rear.
Indiana Vehicle Registration Requirements
Two Indiana license plates to every registered vehicle driver in the state. The plate should be present on the back of the vehicle, the license plate exhibits serial number, state name and registration year. The plate on the front does not need a registration sticker, just the rear license plate. Apart from the regular plates issued, vehicle owners in Indiana can apply for Specialty plates. The specialty plates are meant for different causes, activities, professions, and organizations.
It is also important to note that it’s mandatory for every Indiana vehicle owner to apply for a license plate within thirty days of buying a vehicle. The plates can be obtained in-person, via mail or ordered online. When you order new plates you will also receive new registration tags that also need to be applied to the rear plate only. If you fail to apply for your new plates within the first 30 days you can have your vehicle impounded if pulled on the road.

Hello,
Currently rebuilding from a heavily rusted piece of history Ford Mustang, I’m seeking for any information that I may gather through the VIN number : 8F02C127595
According to my research the car was delivered on January 1968 in South Bend (IN) to his first owner and I’m looking forward to get my hands on ANY information available within records until it ended up in my garage.
Thank you in advance for helping me out tracking this vehicle’s life, that will now start a new life on the other side of the Atlantic.
Xavier, thank you for reaching out about our Indiana license plate blog. Unfortunately our VIN lookup resources are geared for vehicles with 17 digits in the VIN, or built in the last 30 years.
