REAL ID Requirements in Indiana

The Indiana BMV complies with the REAL ID Act of 2005, meaning it provides first-time driver license applicants with REAL ID-compliant driver licenses. REAL ID driver’s licenses meet the federal identification requirements required for tasks such as entering federal buildings and boarding domestic commercial flights.

While applicants will automatically receive a REAL ID, Indiana residents renewing a license have the option of maintaining a standard ID or upgrading to a REAL ID (though you are highly encouraged to upgrade). For more details, visit the BMV's guide to REAL ID licensing.
