The Purdue plates are made and shipped in sequential order, so you are unable to request a specific number on your plate. Each branch receives the quantity of plates that it sold last year. For example, Branch 1 receives the necessary quantity starting with plate number 101.
Branches follow in order.
Lafayette is branch 077 and received numbers 1700 through 2700. Indianapolis branch 046 received 1200 through 1350, while Indianapolis branch 231 may have received 4100 through 4300. So your number is dictated by where you purchase your plates. Your Purdue plate is regarded just like any other Indiana plate, as long as you continue to get a certified form. We will send you a renewal form.
