Once again, here is what it takes to get a government-issued photo ID in Indiana. Think of it like an old-fashioned menu in an old-fashioned Chinese restaurant, one from column A, one from column B. Notice the word “and” in the requirements. It means that you must have all these documents.

You still have to have a primary document, Medicaid cards, et al., do not qualify as primary documents under the law. They are secondary documents.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ID THAT MEETS THESE REQUIREMENTS, YOU CAN GET GOVERNMENT-ISSUED ID.

“If you are applying for a new driver license, identification card, learner permit, or driver education permit you must visit a license branch and present the following documents:

• One primary document; and * One secondary document; and * Proof of Social Security number or Social Security ineligibility; and * Proof of Indiana residency.

OR

• One primary document; and * Proof of Social Security number or Social Security ineligibility; and * Proof of Indiana residency.

A primary or secondary document may also meet the Indiana residency requirement as long as the document shows the applicant’s name and correct address.”
