The BDVR-097 form serves as a critical tool in Michigan for entities seeking specialized vehicle registration plates, encompassing a range of categories from municipal and sheriff plates to those designated for specific nonprofit organizations. This form not only outlines the application process and fee structures—$13 for municipal and sheriff vehicle or motorcycle plates and a nominal $5 for plate replacements—it also specifies the non-expiring nature of these plates, albeit with an obligation to report any lost or destroyed plates promptly. Moreover, the form delineates distinct application procedures for municipal and sheriff plates, suggesting the former can be applied for via branch offices, mail, or fax, while the latter are restricted to mail or fax applications only. Additionally, it introduces a separate pathway for nonprofit organizations eligible for "Y" plates, catering to a variety of entities from Civil Air Patrol to nonprofit senior citizen centers, with a fee of $10 per plate and an expiration set for December 31 in the fifth year following issuance. This detailed form, functioning under the Michigan Department of State, underscores a tiered access system to specialized vehicle plates, coupling an efficient identification process with financial requisites aimed at streamlining submissions and fostering compliance among municipal bodies, sheriff departments, and qualifying nonprofit organizations.
