Hoosiers looking to complete their voter registration application for the upcoming general election on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at an Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) branch must do so by Monday, Oct. 5.
The Indiana BMV provides free, state-issued ID cards for voting purposes to any unlicensed Hoosier 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. A complete list of documents can also be found on the BMV's website.
• Proof of Identity document, such as a birth certificate or U.S. passport.  
• Proof of Social Security Number document, such as a Social Security card, pay stub or W-2.  
• Proof of lawful status, such as a birth certificate or U.S. passport. 
• Two documents that serve as proof of residency, such as a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 60 days. 
If your name has been legally changed and now differs from your identity document(s) (i.e., birth certificate or U.S. passport), proof of name change must be provided to obtain a state ID or driver’s license.
More information on voter registration is available on the Secretary of State’s website. Hoosiers can also register to vote and check their voter registration status online at Indianavoters.in.gov.
