Updated: July 19, 2021

Of the 4.5 million licensed drivers in the midwestern state that year, about 725,00 drivers were uninsured. For Indianans, driving without a license can result in a suspended license for up to one year, reinstatement fees between $250-$1000, or the need to file for a court ordered SR-22 insurance policy. \u00a0For the 1st offense, your driver’s license is suspended for at least 90 days.

How to Renew an Indiana Driver’s License<\/h2>\n

What do I need and how do I renew my Indiana driver’s license? Good questions. The following guide explores how to renew an Indiana driver’s license.<\/p>\n

Renewing a Driver’s License in Indiana<\/h2>\n

Is it time to renew your Indiana driver\u2019s license? While the state does send out renewal notices, it is still up to you to know when your license expires so you complete your Indiana license renewal on time.<\/p>\n

Your license expires at midnight on the day of your birthday, so make sure you have completed the process by then or you will be driving with an invalid license. There are consequences for letting your license expire.<\/p>\n

For less than six months, you\u2019ll have to pay a late fee, but for more than six months past expiration you will have to retake the driving knowledge test. Should you go three years past your expiration date, you\u2019ll have to take the driving skills test again.<\/p>\n

In Person Driver’s License Renewal<\/h3>\n

While most people in Indiana will be able to complete their Indiana license renewal online, there are circumstances that require an in-person visit to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).<\/p>\n

Over Age 75 or Under 21<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are over the age of 75 or under the age of 21, you will always need to renew your license in person.<\/p>\n

Change of Information or Lawful Status<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have had a change to your name or residential address, you must notify the BMV within thirty days. This is known as amending your license in Indiana and cannot be done online. Similarly, if you have had a change in lawful status, such as citizenship, you will have to visit the BMV office.<\/p>\n

Required Vision Screening or Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n

As stated above, if you\u2019ve let your license expire you will have to visit the BMV office to perform a vision test and maybe even a driving knowledge or skills test.<\/p>\n

Excessive Points<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve had some incidents and have six or more points on your record, you will have to pass the knowledge test to complete your Indiana drivers license renewal.<\/p>\n

Suspended License<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your license is invalidated, suspended or revoked you will have to renew in person.<\/p>\n

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or For-Hire<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or a For-Hire endorsement, you can only renew in person.<\/p>\n

Online Driver’s License Renewal<\/h3>\n

You can renew online if you meet the following conditions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Name and address have not changed since your last renewal.<\/li>\n
  • You do not required to take any tests.<\/li>\n
  • You completed your previous renewal at a BMV branch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you are eligible to complete your Indiana license renewal online, you will need to provide your name, birthdate, address and Social Security number.<\/p>\n

    Required License Renewal Fees<\/h3>\n

    To complete your Indiana driver’s license renewal, you are required to pay a required license renewal fee:<\/p>\n

    Required fees vary by driver age and are as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Under 75 years old, the fee is $17.50.<\/li>\n
    • Over 75 years old, but under 85, the fee is $11.00.<\/li>\n
    • Over 85 years old, the fee is $7.00.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      License Validation Periods<\/h3>\n

      For most people, their newly renewed license will be valid for six years. Drivers over the age of 75 will have to renew again in three years and those over 85 will have to complete another Indiana drivers license renewal in two years.<\/p>\n

      Drivers who received their first license while they were under 18 years old will have to renew within thirty days of their 21st birthday.<\/p>\n
