BMV Extends Hours For Election Day To Issue ID Cards, Licenses

By Staff Report-

INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced Thursday that BMV branches will extend hours of operation Nov. 5 and 6 to issue ID cards and driver’s licenses to be used for identification at a polling place.

Branches will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 5 and 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 6, which is Election Day.

The Warsaw branch is at 2888 Frontage Road, in the Marketplace of Warsaw shopping center. Others branches near Kosciusko County are in Nappanee, Plymouth, Rochester, Wabash and Columbia City.

As required by state law, 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.

Customers who are required to take a knowledge or driving skills exam to obtain or renew a license may choose to apply for a free ID card to use for voting purposes.

Individuals who hold a driver’s license or ID card that expired after the last general election may use the expired card as proof of identification for voting purposes. The paper interim credential issued at the license branch at the time of the transaction or after a customer has completed an internet credential transaction is acceptable proof of identification for voting purposes.

The Indiana BMV provides free, state-issued ID cards for voting purposes to any unlicensed state resident 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:

• Proof of identity document, such as a birth certificate or passport.

• Proof of Social Security document, such as a Social Security card, pay stub, or W-2.

• Proof of lawful status, such as a birth certificate or passport.

• Proof of residency, two documents such as a voter registration card, utility bill or bank statement.

 A complete list of documents required to obtain a new state ID card or driver’s license can also be found at IN.gov/bmv.

If your name has been legally changed and now differs from your identity documents, such as birth certificates or passports, proof of name change must be provided in order to obtain a state ID or driver’s license

 All branches will resume regular business hours on Nov. 7.
