INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Peter L. Lacy announced Friday a portion of the state’s 131 branches will reopen with an appointment only service format beginning Monday.
Customers will be able to schedule an appointment for transactions which are not available online. BMV Connect kiosks located at branches opening by appointment only will also be available, according to a news release from the Indiana BMV.
The BMV has modified its operations to ensure the safety of its employees and customers. To get more information on available transactions and to schedule a branch appointment, customers can go to the BMV website, www.in.gov/bmv/2405.htm. Customers with verified appointments will be required to check-in upon arrival.
Branch appointments will be limited to the following transactions: knowledge testing; commercial driver’s license; new driver’s license/learner permit or identification card; amend a current driver’s license, learner permit or identification card; replacement driver’s license, learner permit or identification card; title transfer; update to existing title; new registration; disability placard.
Driving skills exams are not available from the BMV at this time.
Part of Executive Order 20-05 waived administrative penalty fees (late fees), stated the release. This extends expiration dates of registrations, driver’s licenses and identification cards without changing the expiration date printed on documents in individual’s possession and temporarily waives late fees during a future renewal. This same executive order also extends the deadline required to process a title transfer.
The Indiana BMV continues to encourage Hoosiers to complete transactions online, visit a BMV Connect kiosk, by calling the contact center or through USPS whenever possible. You can read a full list of modifications, closure and available services at www.in.gov/bmv/4363.htm.
