During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles extended deadlines for renewals and new registrations until July 1. Drivers with an expiration date on their driver’s license, state ID, or vehicle registration of March 9, 2020 and after, need to renew by Thursday.
About 100,000 driver licenses and 221,000 vehicle registrations with expiration dates that had been exempted under the COVID-19 extension still need renewed.
Wait times can be reduced using the BMV’s virtual queuing system – “Get in Line, Online” and also check out the number of services available to you from the comfort of your own home through BMV Online Services.
Failure to renew in time could result in fines up to $150
The City of Columbus Department of Public Service announced that it would resume enforcement on vehicles displaying expired vehicle registration stickers on July 6.
