CHAPTER 1 | Obtaining a New Credential
CHAPTER ONE | OBTAINING A NEW CREDENTIAL
CREDENTIAL OVERVIEW
The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) issues three types of credentials, as outlined below:
1. Identification Cards These are available to individuals who are or will be 18 years of age on or before the next General or Municipal Election. Identification cards are issued at no cost to voting-age Indiana residents.
2. Learner's Permits This category includes an operator learner's permit (herein referred to as learner's permit), motorcycle learner's permit, and a commercial learner's permit.
3. Driver's Licenses This category includes an operator's license and commercial driver's license (CDL).
All credentials issued to Indiana residents who are under 21 years of age have a vertical format and display the dates the card-holder turns 18 and 21 years of age. A star marker appears in the upper right-hand corner to indicate that a credential is Real ID-compliant and may be used as identification for federal purposes. (See below for more information about Real ID)
CREDENTIAL DESIGN
In 2019 Indiana began issuing credentials with a new look and security features. Current credentials will remain valid until the expiration date printed on the face of the card. Indiana credentials have embedded security features that allow law enforcement to determine their authenticity.
All credential applications are processed through intensive security checks to help prevent identity theft and fraud. If during verification, the BMV discovers another credential has been issued to an applicant in another state, territory, or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the applicant will be required to surrender the out-of-state credential before the BMV will process an application for an Indiana credential.
Example images of credential styles can be seen to the right:
REAL ID
The Real ID Act of 2005 established minimum standards for state-issued credentials. As a reminder, credentials include driver's license, permits, and identification cards. State-issued credentials that meet these standards can be accepted for federal identification, including boarding commercial flights, entering military, and other secure federal facilities. The purpose of these standards is to set uniform documentation and imagecapture requirements, prevent fraud, and generate credentials for printing and mailing from a secure centralized facility. Indiana has been compliant with the Real ID Act requirements since January 1, 2010, so federal enforcement has not affected our citizens who have since been issued a Real ID-compliant credential.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have established October 1, 2020, as the deadline for when they will begin requiring those boarding an aircraft using a driver's license or identification card to have a Real ID-compliant credential. The Indiana BMV recommends
1
INDIANA DRIVER'S MANUAL | BMV
that all citizens apply for a Real ID during their next renewal or before if their current credential expires after the October 1, 2020 deadline. To upgrade to a Real ID-compliant credential when renewing, amending, or replacing a current Indiana credential, you must provide original versions or certified copies of your identity, lawful status, Social Security number, and proof of Indiana residency documents during a visit to a BMV branch.
To determine if your credential is Real ID-compliant, check to see if it has a star in the upper right-hand corner (please see the credential images on p.1.)
? For a complete list of documents required to obtain a Real ID-compliant credential, see Appendix A (p. 66) of this manual or visit REALID.. If you have questions about collecting your documents, you can call the Indiana BMV toll-free at 888-692-6841 to speak with a customer service representative, or visit any branch for assistance.
INDIANA RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
You must be a legal resident of Indiana to obtain an Indiana credential. Evidence of Indiana residency includes:
? Maintaining a residential address in Indiana and not claiming residency in another state ? Being a registered voter in Indiana ? Having a dependent who is enrolled in an elementary or secondary school located in Indiana
For the purposes of obtaining a credential, the following individuals are not considered Indiana residents:
? Students enrolled at a post-secondary educational institution who do not claim Indiana as their state of residence ? Active duty military personnel in the armed forces who do not claim Indiana as their state of residence ? Temporary employees ? Other purposes, without the intent of making Indiana a permanent home
New Indiana Residents
When you become an Indiana resident, you have 60 days to obtain a new Indiana driver's license.
If you have never held a valid driver's license from another state, you must hold an Indiana learner's permit for 180 days before you can apply for an Indiana driver's license.
If you have been licensed in another state, the below rules apply.
If You Are 18 Years Of Age or Older If you are at least 18 years of age and you hold a valid out-of-state driver's license, you must bring one of the following three items to the branch:
?Your current out-of-state driver's license, ? a copy of your official driving record, or ? a verification letter.
If your out-of-state driver's license has been expired for less than three years, or you have held an unrevoked out-of-state driver's license for at least one year, you must pass a knowledge exam to obtain an Indiana driver's license.
If your out-of-state driver's license has been expired for more than three years, you must pass a knowledge exam and a driving skills test to obtain an Indiana driver's license.

CHAPTER 1 | Obtaining a New Credential
Individuals in all of the above listed categories must also present documentation proving your identity, lawful status, Social Security number, and Indiana residency when visiting the branch to obtain an Indiana driver's license. You are also required to pass a standard vision screen.
If You Are Younger than 18 Years of Age If you are under 18, but more than 16 years and 180 days old, and have held a valid out-of-state driver's license for at least 180 days in your previous state(s) of residency, you must visit a BMV branch to present your current out-of-state driver's license or a copy of your official driving record. You must also present documentation providing your identity, lawful status, Social Security number, and Indiana residency. Applicants under 18 years old will be required to pass a knowledge examination and a vision screening in addition to presenting all required documentation.
? For additional endorsement and restriction requirements, please refer to Chapter 2 of this manual.
APPLYING FOR AN IDENTIFICATION CARD
Identification cards may be issued to an Indiana resident of any age who does not have a driver's license. Indiana residents cannot hold more than one credential at the same time, even if one of the credentials was issued by another state. Therefore, you must surrender any other credential to the Indiana BMV in order to complete an application for an identification card.
Identification cards may also provide privileges to operate a Motor Driven Cycle ? Class B (MDC ? Class B) as long as you are at least 15 years of age and pass an MDC ? Class B knowledge exam. If both requirements are met, an MDC ? Class B endorsement will be placed on your identification card to signify your operating authority.
To apply for an identification card, you must visit a BMV branch and present documents described in Appendix A proving your identity, lawful status, Social Security number (unless you are claiming an exemption or you are a foreign national, both of which require alternative documentation), and Indiana residency.
Identification Card Validity
? An identification card and an MDC ? Class B endorsement are valid for six years ? Identification cards issued to lawful temporary residents expire on the applicant's end of stay date so may not reflect standard periods of validity
LEARNER'S PERMITS
A learner's permit allows an Indiana resident to practice driving before applying for a driver's license. You may apply for a learner's permit at any BMV branch.
If you are 16 years of age or older, you must meet the following requirements to obtain a learner's permit:
? Present documents described in Appendix A proving your identity, lawful status, Social Security number (unless you are a foreign national, which may require alternative documentation) and Indiana residency ? Pass a standard vision screening ? Pass a knowledge exam
If you are under 16 years of age or older, you must meet the following requirements to obtain a learner's permit:
? Be at least 15 years of age and show proof of your enrollment in a BMV licensed Behind-the-wheel training provider by presenting a Certificate of Driver Education Enrollment from the driver training school. The certificate must be dated no earlier than 3 weeks prior to the start of the class. The online course certificate of completion is not an acceptable document. ? Present documents described in Appendix A proving your identity, lawful status, Social Security number (unless you are a foreign national, which may require alternative documentation) and Indiana residency.
