All other services will be discontinued

Also, we will close 52 driver examination stations until further notice. Five locations will remain open to perform commercial knowledge exams ONLY.

The below five Deputy Registrar and Driver Examination stations will be open for CDL services only, which include CDL Renewal, TIPIC, HAZMAT endorsement, and knowledge testing:

We will continue with CDL testing and issuance is based on the need to keep our supply chain open and moving. Supplies, whether medical, cleaning or food supplies are critical to the healthcare and welfare of our citizens.

We are advising law enforcement to use discretion to adjust enforcement and are asked to give consideration to a driver whose license expired last week and may have been unable to renew due to agency closure or a self-quarantine situation.

We have directed the BMV to instruct car dealerships to issue temporary tags for 90 days and pause suspensions for failure to pay or renew a license.

We are also encouraging customers to renew vehicle registrations online at bmv.ohio.gov or by mail.
