Ava's answer

Indiana BMV license renewal can typically be completed online via myBMV.com up to two years before expiration, or in person at a branch if online renewal is not available to you.

Steps5 steps

Check online eligibility: Most Hoosiers can renew up to two years before their birthday expiration; some (e.g., non-U.S. citizens, certain status changes) must renew in a branch.
Renew online or at a branch: Log in to myBMV.com, select the credential, verify the mailing address, and pay; otherwise visit any BMV branch.
Vision requirements: A vision exam is required for in-person renewals and is given at the branch.
Receive your credential: Renewed credentials are mailed to the address on file; destroy your old card once the new one arrives.
Find an official office if you need to go in person: Use the agency's official office finder: https://www.in.gov/bmv/
