Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicle license branches located in counties that have November city elections, including Columbus, will extend hours of operation on Nov. 2 and on Nov. 3 to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses for identification at a polling place.
Branches will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 2 and 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 3.
These license branches will only process new, amended or replacement ID cards, and renewed, amended or replacement driver’s licenses and learner permits. New driver’s licenses and learner permits will be processed provided the customer has previously completed all required testing.
