Real ID

Beginning May 03, 2023 a Real ID-compliant driver’s license, permit or identification card will be required to board commercial airplanes or enter certain federal facilities. If you have a star in the upper right-hand corner of your driver’s license, permit or identification card, you are Real-ID compliant. To upgrade to Real ID, all customers must visit a BMV branch and bring original versions or certified copies of required documents, which include: • One document proving your identity; and • One document proving your lawful status in the United States; and • One document proving your Social Security number; and • Two documents proving your Indiana residency. If your current name does not match your identity document due to a name change(s) (marriage, adoption, court order, etc), you may need to provide additional government-issued documents to support any or all name changes.
