You will need photo ID at the polls next Tuesday, November 7. The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles has extended all license branch hours to allow for the issuance of state-issued photo identification cards and driver licenses to meet the general election deadline.
According to information from Greg Cook, BMV Communications Office, license branches, including full-service, satellite and reinstatement centers, will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, November 6 and from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 7.
Cook noted that customers who are seeking a state-issued photo identification card or driver license for the purpose of voting will be given priority on both Monday and Tuesday, the day before and election day. He went on to say employees of the license branch will work to accommodate all customers as well.
“We look forward to assisting all of our customers in a timely, professional fashion,” said BMV Commissioner Ron Stiver. “We are also encouraging customers needing a photo identification card to visit a license branch even before Nov. 6 and Nov. 7. Our associates will be more than happy to help.”
Regular hours for license branches will resume on Wednesday, November 8, however all branches will be closed on Saturday, November 11 for the Veterans' Day holiday. BMV administrative offices will be closed for the holiday on Friday, November 10.
Documents of identification needed to obtain state-issued ID cards for voting purposes include:
• a primary document, such as a birth certificate or passport;
• a secondary document, such as a pay check or a signed bank or credit card;
• a proof of residency, such as a utility bill.
