Driving a Car
Get a Driver's License. The process of getting a driver's license takes only a few hours and costs only $14, however, due to new regulations, applying for a new driver's license now requires extensive proof of identification, which may take some time to collect.
Students with a valid driver's license from another state in the U.S. will not have to take the road test to get an Indiana drivers license. Students with a valid license from their home country AND an International Driver's License may drive here for up to one year.
All applicants for an Indiana driver's license must pass a written (multiple choice) test on road rules and signs, even if they have passed the road test in their home country.
Driver's License Regulations for the State of Indiana are currently changing. For the most updated version of the pieces of identification required to obtain a driver's license, please visit the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles website.
