INDIANAPOLIS — A BMV branch on the south side of Indianapolis is set to close its doors for good at the end of next month.
According to a press release, the branch located at 1440 Madison Avenue will hold its final day of operation on Friday, Aug. 30. The announcement comes roughly a month after news broke that the BMV was considering closing the branch.
“The decision to close Madison Ave. came after a thorough review of feedback received from area residents, as well as an assessment of branch activity over the past several years,” said Indiana BMV Commissioner Joe B. Hoage.
The press release says the branch's staff will be relocated to the Indy South BMV branch, located at 3919 Madison Avenue.
“With the Indy South branch just three miles away, residents have the option to conduct business at a location offering more customer service stations, testing stations, and BMV Connect kiosks,” said Commissioner Hoage in the press release.
Earlier in June, a BMV spokesperson told 13News the branch's closure was being explored following a review that showed since 2018, fewer in-person transactions were happening at the Madison Avenue branch, with some customers opting to take care of things online or at a kiosk.
