I need my driver’s license back – are there payment plans for those who owe fees?



 The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles offers payment plans to people who owe reinstatement fees in order to reinstate their driver’s license right away.  

To be eligible for the payment plan, a person must owe the BMV at least $150, have met all the other reinstatement requirements, show current proof of insurance, not be under suspension or have pending suspensions, and not be on a court-ordered payment plan. 

More information about the payment plan, and the application form, visit this BMV website. 

The completed application, $25, and proof of insurance should be submitted in person at a BMV Deputy Registrar office (listed at www.bmv.ohio.gov) — service fee will apply — or by mail to: Ohio BMV, Attn: Remittance/Points, P.O. Box 16521, Columbus, OH 43216.
