What Is an "SR" Form?

What Is an “SR” Form at the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles?

The BMV often sends notices to drivers in Indiana requiring the driver to provide information on an “SR” form. What is this? “SR” forms are simply forms that provide the BMV with information that they need in order to properly monitor your license.
