Privacy and Disclosure of Bureau of Motor Vehicles Records

Indiana's state counterpart to the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act bars BMV disclosure of personal information except for listed permissible uses, such as government functions, vehicle safety and recalls, fraud prevention by businesses, and litigation. Highly restricted information (photos, SSNs, medical and disability data) generally needs express written consent. Private recipients who resell or redisclose the data must stay within permitted uses and keep records of who received it.
