Services at this branch

The BMV does not print a service list for Salem 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 1201 North Jim Day Rd Ste C takes work from outside Salem too.

At the Salem 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 Salem counter. For a knowledge exam at 1201 North Jim Day Rd Ste C 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 Salem is by appointment only, booked between 48 hours and three weeks ahead through the BMV's driving test scheduler.

The branch list marks 1201 North Jim Day Rd Ste C as a BMV Branch with no Connect kiosk inside. By the BMV's map coordinates the nearest kiosk to Salem is New Albany at 2612 Charlestown Rd, New Albany, IN 47150-6434, about 26 miles away.
