Extended deadlines at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles due to the pandemic will soon run out, making this week crucial for those that have not renewed important documents. An estimated 320,000 Ohioans have yet to update their vehicle registration or driver's license since the extensions were put in place. This Thursday, July 1st is the last day to renew your driving information before the possibility of being fined. Charles Norman, the Registrar of Ohio's Motor Vehicles, urges the public not to wait, as lines could become overwhelming at your local BMV.
Tuesday was the first day of in-office service at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and it was busy. The Bowsher BMV on North Elizabeth Street has people lined out the doors for most of the day. The office handles titles, licenses, and drivers-ed tests and patrons where being sorted by what they needed to try and cut down the wait time. The state BMV is suggesting using their online service to avoid the lines. License or ID cards that expired on or after March 9th have been extended to 90 days after the state of emergency ends or December 1st.
Lieutenant Governor Husted also made a stop in Lima Tuesday afternoon to announce a new feature designed to cut down waiting times at the BMV. Husted, along with Ohio BMV Registrar Charles Norman presented the "Get In Line, Online" system for Allen County.
