BMV open longer hours for primary

INDIANAPOLIS —The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) will extend hours of operation today for the primary.

Branches will be open today from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses to be used for identification at a polling place. Appointments are not required, but service is limited.

Under Indiana state law, BMV branches are open to the public for extended hours on Election Day and the day before Election Day. To meet the requirements of this law the BMV will not require appointments for Hoosiers needing an ID for voting purposes.

During this extended period of operation, service offerings are limited to new, amended, renewed, or replacement ID and driver’s license for voting purposes. All other BMV services are not available today.

Appointments will resume on Wednesday and will be required for all transactions. Appointments can be scheduled at in.gov/bmv/2405.htm.
