INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles on Tuesday announced all branches will have extended hours of operation on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3 to issue ID cards and driver's licenses to be used for identification at a polling place on Election Day, Nov. 3.
Branches will be open Nov. 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Election Day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. All locations will remain open through the lunch hour.
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.
The BMV said individuals who hold a driver's license or ID card that expired after the last general election (Nov. 6, 2018) 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 acceptable proof of identification for voting purposes.
All branches will resume regular business hours on Nov. 4.
