Septate vagina is frequently part of a package of abnormalities and when seen, reanl abnormalities must always be suspected because they develop about the same time (along with the ear).

Start with a pelvic sonogram and see a gyn. If a vaginal exam can be done, good. If not, a rectal exam will suffice. BTW, for everyone's kknowledge, there are transverse (going across) and longitudinal (going some length of the vagina) septae. Further info possibly from a geneticist and after the pelvic sono.
