Indiana has no program for undocumented residents — lawful status is required and verified on every application through the federal SAVE program. If you are lawfully present but ineligible for a Social Security number, the BMV accepts a letter from the Social Security Administration stating you cannot be issued an SSN. If you have no lawful status, the BMV will not issue a credential.","question":"Can I get a driver license in Indiana without an SSN?"},{"answer":"When you apply as a foreign national, Indiana verifies your lawful status through SAVE, which can take up to two weeks. While your documents are being authenticated, the BMV issues an interim license valid 30 days so you can drive. If your status is verified you receive your permanent credential within 14 days; if it cannot be verified, no credential is issued and you receive a denial letter.","question":"What is the 30-day interim license in Indiana?"},{"answer":"Per the BMV fee chart revised January 1, 2026, a driver license for applicants under 75 is $17.50 (age 75–84 is $11.00; 85 and older is $7.00). A non-voter state identification card is $9.00, and a voter identification card is free. A learner’s permit is $9.00.","question":"How much do an Indiana state ID and driver license cost?"},{"answer":"Credentials issued to foreign nationals with temporary status expire on the end date of their authorized stay, even though the standard license term is six years. Temporary-status holders can only renew up to 30 days before the credential expires, and the renewal period is tied to your lawful-status end date.","question":"When does an Indiana license for a non-citizen expire?"}],"generated":"2026-06-29","isBasedOn":"https://www.in.gov/bmv/licenses-permits-ids/new-indiana-residents","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Indiana driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.in.gov/bmv/licenses-permits-ids/new-indiana-residents","https://www.in.gov/bmv/licenses-permits-ids/files/out-of-country-driver-ed-faqs.pdf","https://www.in.gov/bmv/files/BMV_Documentation_List.pdf","https://www.in.gov/bmv/files/Fee_Chart.pdf"],"state":"Indiana","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/indiana/"}
