Interpreters

The Indiana BMV allows an applicant for a driver's license to use a foreign language interpreter to interpret the knowledge exam if the applicant speaks a language not already offered by the BMV. Spoken language interpreters are not available if the knowledge exam is already offered in the requested language. The BMV does not provide applicants with a foreign language interpreter; this service must be arranged by the applicant.
