BMV Office Locations

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) oversees motor vehicle licensing, registration, and titling, as well as driver licensing. It also handles matters such as state identification card issuance.

These tasks are tackled at different locations:

• Clerk of Courts title offices: Issues vehicle titles and deals with all title-related matters.

• Deputy Registrar License Agency locations: Issues and renews driver licenses, registrations, license plates, and state identification cards. You may also sign up to be an organ donor or a registered voter at these locations.

• Ohio State Highway Patrol Driver License Examination stations: Conducts driver license examinations.

Some locations offer "one-stop" convenience, where Buckeye State residents may conduct all or a partial combination of the above-listed transactions.
