When You Must Visit a BMV Branch to Replace

Some applicants are not eligible to renew or replace online because their residential address, township, or zip code has changed, or they amended some other information with the BMV after their last card was issued. If you need to change your name or residential address, you will need to visit a branch to amend your license.

Replacing a License If You Are Away From Indiana

If your Indiana driver’s license, learner’s permit, CDL, or identification card has been lost or stolen while you are out of the state, you may obtain a 30-day interim credential allowing you to return to Indiana and obtain a replacement. To obtain a 30-day interim credential, you will need to complete a Request for Interim/Extension License or Military Extension Letter - State Form 54580 and have it mailed to the address listed on the form. You may be able to print a paper interim license from your myBMV account if you recently renewed or replaced your driver’s license in a BMV branch or online at myBMV.com.

If you are temporarily living outside Indiana because you are serving in the military, your license remains valid for 90 days following your discharge from service.
