Services at this branch

The BMV does not print a service list for Portland alone. Its Preparing for a Branch Visit page, read October 21, 2026, lists the transactions available at a branch, and it says a customer may go to any branch in the state, so 1314 North Meridian STREET, Ste 300 takes work from outside Portland too.

At the Portland counter that list is: knowledge exams, commercial driver licenses, a new driver license, learner permit or identification card, renewing a driver license, learner permit or identification card, amending a current driver license, learner permit or identification card, replacing a driver license, learner permit or identification card, title transfers, updates to an existing title, new registrations, disability placards, registration renewals, registration amendments, duplicate registrations, duplicate titles.

Two timing rules apply at the Portland counter. For a knowledge exam at 1314 North Meridian STREET, Ste 300 the BMV's page says two things: its questions and answers say to arrive at least one hour before closing for the computer based exam and at least 30 minutes before for the printed exam, while its transaction list says the computer based exam must begin no less than 30 minutes before closing, so the hour is the safe reading. A driving skills exam at Portland is by appointment only, booked between 48 hours and three weeks ahead through the BMV's driving test scheduler.

The branch list marks 1314 North Meridian STREET, Ste 300 as a BMV Branch with no Connect kiosk inside. By the BMV's map coordinates the nearest kiosk to Portland is Berne Community Markets at 1056 US Hwy 27, Berne, IN 46711, about 16 miles away.

Before you go

Before going to 1314 North Meridian STREET, Ste 300 the BMV asks for three things: have a photo ID ready, confirm every document the transaction needs, and check the branch hours. For a first license, a REAL ID or an address change at Portland the documents are the ones in the Indiana REAL ID guide and the identity, status and residence proof guide.

What a transaction at the Portland counter costs is on the BMV's 2026 fee chart and explained in the Indiana BMV fee guide; a card payment at the counter carries the BMV's $0.40 plus 2.06 percent processing charge.

Calling 888-692-6841 reaches the BMV Contact Center, not a telephone on the 1314 North Meridian STREET, Ste 300 counter, because the branch list gives that one number for every branch.
