The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) is extending hours of operation at all BMV branches on Monday, May 4 and Tuesday, May 5 for the primary election.
Branches will be open Monday, May 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Tuesday, May 5, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Branches will prioritize processing transactions that include new, amended, renewed, or replacement identification cards, learner permits, driver’s licenses, and CDLs. Customers are required to provide all required documentation to complete a transaction.
The Indiana BMV provides free, state-issued ID cards for voting purposes to any unlicensed Hoosier who is a U.S. citizen, who can provide proper documentation, and who will be at least 18 years of age on or before the next general or municipal election. The following documents are required to obtain a new state ID card or driver’s license. A complete list of documents can also be found here on the BMV's website.
- Proof of Identity document, such as a birth certificate or U.S. passport.
- Proof of Social Security Number document, such as a Social Security card, pay stub, or W-2.
- Proof of lawful status, such as a birth certificate or U.S. passport.
- Two documents that serve as proof of residency, such as a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 60 days.
- If your name has been legally changed and now differs from your identity document(s) (i.e., birth certificate or U.S. passport), proof of name change must be provided to obtain a state ID or driver’s license.
Individuals who hold a driver’s license or ID card that expired after the last general election (November 5, 2024) may use the expired card as proof of identification for voting purposes. The paper interim credential issued to customers at the branch at the time of the transaction or after a customer has completed an internet transaction is also acceptable proof of identification for voting purposes.
Visit the BMV website for details about Election Day, including branch locations, transaction and processing information, and FAQs. All branches will resume regular business hours on Wednesday, May 6.
