 On January 1, 2010, the program, called "SecureID," will be implemented for the state of Indiana. The program allows Indiana to comply with recommendations from the 9/11 Commission Report and will improve the BMV’s ability to protect your identity from theft and fraud.
Beginning January 1, 2010, when you renew, replace or apply for a new driver’s license or identification card you will be required to present documentation proving your identity, Social Security number, lawful status, and Indiana residency.
After you present all documents, you will receive an interim license at the BMV branch. You will receive your permanent license or identification card within 10 business days. It will be mailed from a secure, government-run facility to your mailing address. This added step is to provide yet another layer of protection of your identity.
If your driver’s license expires in 2011 or later, it is valid until the normal expiration date. There is no need to come into the license branch any earlier. If you are updating your name or address before the expiration date, you will have to bring all of the required documentation to the license branch.
