Operative words

[additional branches will] open by appointment only on Monday, May 11. This brings the total number of branches open by appointment to 128. Customers are now able to schedule an appointment for transactions which are not available online at all of these locations.... [customers] are required to have an appointment and those appointments are limited to the following transactions... Administrative Penalty Fees (late fees) are still waived as set forth in Executive Order 20-05. Effectively, this extends expiration dates of registrations, driver's licenses, and identification cards without changing the expiration date printed on documents in individual's possession and temporarily waives late fees during a future renewal. This same executive order also extends the deadline required to process a title transfer.

Enforcement

Agency operating rule under the Governor's orders

Notes

Documents the appointment-only, limited-transaction regime that followed the March 24 closure: 128 of Indiana's branches by appointment from May 11, 2020.
