Driver's License Types

Probationary Driver's License

If you are under the age of 21 when you obtain your Indiana driver's license, your license is considered probationary. To obtain a probationary driver's license, you must meet Indiana’s age requirements below and have held a learner's permit for 180 days (approximately six months).

You may also need a co-signer for financial liability and a log of supervised driving if you are under the age of 18 years old. Open the accordion below for more information on this.

• Age Requirements for a Probationary Driver’s License

  If you have successfully completed an approved driver education program you must be at least 16 years and 90 days old to obtain a driver's license.

  If you have not successfully completed an approved driver education program you must be at least 16 years and 270 days old to obtain a driver's license.

  A probationary driver’s license cannot be renewed until your 21st birthday. You will have 30 days after your 21st birthday to renew your driver’s license before you will be required to pay an administrative penalty.

• Log of Supervised Driving

  Indiana law requires persons with a learner’s permit to complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving practice with a licensed instructor or:

  If the individual is less than 18 years of age:

  • A licensed driver, with valid driving privileges, who is at least 25 years of age and related by blood, marriage, or legal status
  • A spouse, with valid driving privileges, who is at least 21 years of age
  • An individual with valid driving privileges who is licensed as a driver education instructor and is working under the direction of a driver training school
  • An individual with valid driving privileges who is certified as a driver rehabilitation specialist recognized by the BMV and is employed through a driver rehabilitation program

  If the individual is over 18 years of age:

  • A licensed driver, with valid driving privileges, who is at least 25 years of age
  • A spouse, with valid driving privileges, who is at least 21 years of age

  At least 10 hours of supervised driving practice must be nighttime driving. The practice time must be maintained in a Log of Supervised Driving and presented to the BMV at the time of application for a driver’s license. If you have a daylight-only restriction on your learner’s permit, you do not need to complete the 10 hours of nighttime driving; however, you must still complete the 50 hours total.

• Financial Liability for Injury or Damage

  Applicants for a learner’s permit or driver’s license who are less than 18 years of age must have one of the following adults sign a sworn or affirmed statement of financial liability in person at a branch. The lawful (IC 9-24-9-3) order of preference is:

  1. The parent having custody of the minor applicant or a designee of the custodial parent specified by the custodial parent
  2. The noncustodial parent (as defined in IC 31-9-2-83) of the minor applicant or a designee of the noncustodial parent specified by the noncustodial parent
  3. The guardian having custody of the minor applicant
  4. In the absence of a person described in one (1) through three (3), any other adult who is willing to assume the obligations imposed by the provisions of this chapter (IC 9-24-9)

  An adult who co-signs for financial liability swears or affirms financial liability for a minor applicant and agrees to be responsible jointly and severally with the minor applicant for all damage that results from operating a motor vehicle. The adult who co-signs for financial liability must present a valid form of identification, including a U.S. government-issued photo identification card that displays a United States address. The BMV does not accept Matricula Consular cards for purposes of financial liability. Any form of identity must be a U.S. government-issued identity document.

Standard Driver's License

If you are 21 years of age or older, your Indiana driver's license is not probationary.

• How Long is My Driver’s License Valid?

  If you are a US citizen, you may renew your license up to twenty-four (24) months prior to its expiration. An operator written test is not required when you renew a driver’s license, unless you have accumulated six or more points on your driver record since your previous renewal or your license has been expired for more than 180 days.

  If you have lawful permanent or temporary status, you may renew your driver’s license at any BMV branch up to 30 days before the license expires. If you have Temporary Lawful Status your license is valid until the end date of your lawful presence OR for;

  1. Six years if you are less than 75 years of age,
  2. Three years if you are at least 75 years of age and less than 85 years of age, or
  3. Two years if you are at least 85 years of age.

If you are an Indiana resident and apply for a driver’s license, you most likely have already passed your written test. However, there are situations where you may need to take another written test, such as:

Driver's License Calculator California State

• You are renewing from a probationary driver’s license to a driver’s license and have six or more points on your driver record.
• You recently moved to Indiana from another country and are applying for a driver’s license.
• Your driver’s license has been expired for more than 180 days.
• You wish to add endorsements to your driver’s license or commercial driver’s license.

As of July 1, 2019, if you are moving to Indiana from another state and hold a valid driver's license in that state you are no longer required to complete a written test. Note: Some written tests are required for transferring a CDL, motorcycle, or for-hire endorsement.

You must arrive at least one hour before a branch closes to take a written test. You do not need to schedule an appointment for a written test unless you need to have the test read to you, you are deaf or hard of hearing. Appointments for applicants who are deaf or hard of hearing can be made by a branch manager or by calling the BMV’s Contact Center at 1-888-692-6841.

Endorsements and Restrictions

Endorsements and restrictions change the circumstances in which an individual may operate a motor vehicle. Some endorsements and restrictions also apply to identification cards.

Additional Licenses and Endorsements

Indiana also issues licenses for commercial driver’s licenses along with motorcycle and for-hire endorsements.

Effective January 1, 2017, the BMV began issuing a for-hire endorsement in place of a public passenger chauffer’s (PPC) or chauffer’s license. A PPC or chauffer’s license issued prior to January 1, 2017 will remain valid until the expiration date printed on the license.

Drivers with Disabilities

If you are at least 18 years of age, disabled, and have successfully completed driver rehabilitation training conducted by a certified driver rehabilitation specialist recognized by the BMV, you may apply for a driver’s license without a learner’s permit on your record or a completed Log of Supervised Driving.

You will be required to provide the BMV branch with a report of the training received from the driver rehabilitation specialist.

Out-of-Country Licenses

An out-of-country driver's license cannot be used for identification purposes. An out-of-country driver's license must be in the English language or presented with a verifiably accurate English translation of the document.

If you have an out-of-country driver's license and intend to become a resident of Indiana, you must pass the vision screening, written test, and driving test to obtain an Indiana driver's license.

All documents proving your identity, Social Security number, lawful status and Indiana residency will be verified through a central verification process. The BMV will issue an interim license, valid for 30 days, authorizing the holder to drive pending authentication of documents submitted.

Once the BMV has verified the documentation that you have provided, you will receive the license, learner’s permit, or identification card. If the documents cannot be verified, you will receive a letter explaining the determination and your rights to request an administrative hearing to review the determination.
