BMV introduces new way for Indiana residents to pass driving skills exam

Indianapolis, Indiana – For Hoosiers looking to obtain a driver’s license from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, a new alternative will soon be available.

Individuals who meet the requirements may now apply for an Indiana driver’s license, permit, or identity card after the BMV made the necessary revisions.

A driving abilities exam can be given by authorized training facilities to anyone with a current learner’s permit. This is made possible by House Enrolled Act 1050-2023.

Prior to this change, individuals with a learner’s permit had to wait 90 days after turning 16 to pass a driving skills exam.

According to the BMV, these modifications will increase the number of qualified Indiana residents’ options for passing their driving test while undergoing the instruction.
