In the English language, there is no single definitive\nauthority, which means we often make our versions of vocabulary, slang, dialects,\nand more. As a result, we are also known to use words interchangeably, such as \u201cbusiness\u201d\nand \u201ccompany\u201d, or \u201cstore\u201d and \u201cshop.\u201d So when it comes to our state\u2019s\ngovernment agencies that issue drivers\u2019 licenses and register vehicles, the\nsame language practices apply. Many people are confused by the acronyms, \u201cBMV\u201d\nand \u201cDMV\u201d, and the less common, \u201cRMV.\u201d The truth is, these are all\ninterchangeable terms that essentially mean the same thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

State Motor Vehicle Agencies<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the United States, our government has appointed official agencies that regulate the registration of vehicles and the issuing of drivers\u2019 licenses on a state level. They also enforce federal and state laws regarding all motor vehicles. The names of these agencies vary from state to state, but their roles and responsibilities are the same across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common acronyms used for these state-level government agencies include BMV, DMV, and RMV. The acronym used depends on the state and their unique government language preferences. See below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BMV <\/strong>\u2013 Bureau of Motor Vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DMV <\/strong>\u2013 Department of Motor Vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RMV <\/strong>\u2013 Registry of Motor Vehicles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common acronym used for government agencies that\nissue drivers\u2019 licenses and register vehicles is DMV, or Department of Motor\nVehicles. As you can see, the terms \u201cbureau\u201d, \u201cdepartment\u201d, and \u201cregistry\u201d are\nused interchangeably to describe the same type of agency. Interestingly, Massachusetts\nis the only state that uses RMV, but is now administered by the Massachusetts\nDepartment of Transportation (MassDOT). All other states use either DMV or BMV.\nHere in Indiana, we use both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
