LTCH Question

[gvsugod]

So I am sure there is a million threads about this. So to start sorry.

I am getting my Indiana Drivers license tomorrow and establishing residency. Which means I will be going straight from the BMV to the...?

What is the order of events to most hastily get my LTCH?

Thanks.

Go to the ISP web site FAQ, your questions can be anawered there. Then fill the app out online. If you are in a county that allows you to us L1security to do electronic fingerprinting, make an appointment and go that route. Its an extra 10 bucks, but well worth it.

 

[gvsugod]

Can I do the app without my Indiana DL? It hasnt asked for it, but I assume I will need it at some point.

You have to be a resident for 6 months before you can get LTCH, AFAIK. Have you covered that?

 

[gvsugod]

No but reading the FAQ on the ISP website it hasnt mentioned that. Well if thats the case that sucks. I have only been here about 2 months.

Where are you coming from?

Where are you coming from?

Moved from Michigan. Been here 2 months, will be a legal beagle Indiana Resident in less than 12 hours.

 

[gvsugod]

Well it let me apply, set an appointment, and now it wants money. So I think I am going to be ok. I will meet residency requirements without a 6 month period. Thanks Stschil for the quick advice. I will just take my shiny new IN DL to the police station after getting fingerprinted!

Where did you get that little tidbit from? You just have to be a resident. It doesn't have to be for six months. The instant you're a resident, you're eligible (and sometimes even if you just work in-state but don't live here).

I'm moving to Indiana. How do I "establish residency"? (In other words, what act will make my permit from elsewhere no longer valid?)

IC 9-13-2-78
Indiana resident
Sec. 78. "Indiana resident" refers to a person who is one (1) of the following:
(1) A person who has been living in Indiana for at least one hundred eighty-three (183) days during a calendar year and who has a legal residence in another state. However, the term does not include a person who has been living in Indiana for any of the following purposes:

(A) Attending a postsecondary educational institution.
(B) Serving on active duty in the armed forces of the United States.
​

(2) A person who is living in Indiana if the person has no other legal residence.

(3) A person who is registered to vote in Indiana.

(4) A person who has a child enrolled in an elementary or a secondary school located in Indiana.

(5) A person who has more than one-half (1/2) of the person's gross income (as defined in Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code) derived from sources in Indiana using the provisions applicable to determining the source of adjusted gross income that are set forth in IC 6-3-2-2. However, a person who is considered a resident under this subdivision is not a resident if the person proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the person is not a resident under subdivisions (1) through (4).

(6) A person who:

(A) is enrolled as a student of a truck driver training school;
(B) has legal residence in another state but is living in Indiana temporarily for the express purpose of taking a course of study from the truck driver training school; and
(C) intends to return to the person's state of residence upon completion of the course of study of the truck driver training school.​

Thanks Scutter. Does Indiana BMV give me a photo id on the spot? That is the only hang up to my plan!

 

[rimfire_crazed]

You will get a paper temporary drivers license with a photo.

 

[gvsugod]

Awesome. INGOers are the best.

No, they mail it to you. They will give you a print-out photo ID until yours comes in the mail if you ask.

 

[gvsugod]

I will just ask then!

Do you already have a Michigan LTCH?

One thing to think about, is once you do your online app, it takes them 1-2 weeks to do the background check. You really cant do much of anything until they call you and say your background is approved. I dont know where you are, but in Noblesville they wouldnt even talk to us until the background was completed, then we could make the appointment for the fingerprinting. After the fingerprinting, then we could our money to the police station and finally get everything completed.

I know this because I have been working on upgrading mine from a 4 year to a lifetime and getting my wife hers lifetime. we started 3 weeks ago and just finished the process on thursday. They told us to expect our cards in the mail in about 2 weeks.

That all depends on the munipality. I lived in Avon when I got mine.
Three working days from fingerprint appointment to having my LTCH in my mailbox.

A friend got his last fall in Marion Cty. Filled out his app on Tues evening, printed on Friday and had his LTCH by the next Friday.

 

[gvsugod]

Well I have my IN DL. Getting printed in a couple hours. So hopefully this week.

 

[kjf40]

I'm sure you'll see it in around a week after your printed.
And you pay the Police their cut

Congrats

In Marion County if you do the online application and L1 printing, you'll have the license in the mail about 7 days after you get printed at IMPD down town.

For anybody wondering:

Online Application -> L1 -> Local Municipality -> Wait

You can't do it out of order, your local Municipality will require the white paper you get from L1 to print you and finish up the process.
