What if I can’t afford to pay my reinstatement fee?
Ohio Revised Code section 4510.10 sets forth the procedure for a municipal and/or county court to follow in cases “involving an offender that cannot reasonably pay reinstatement fees due and owing.” The court can establish a payment plan of not less than fifty dollars per month, or give the offender an extension of their operating privileges “until a future date upon which date all reinstatement fees must be paid in full.” Pursuant to R.C. 4510.10 (F), “reinstatement fees are debts that may be discharged in bankruptcy.”
How do I subpoena records from the BMV?
To obtain authenticated driver record from BMV send a subpoena duces tecum to: Ohio BMV, P.O. Box 16583, Columbus, Ohio, 43216. You can accomplish the same result by filing a records request filing BMV form 1173.
What are the current license and registration fees?
Current driver’s license fees, I.D. fees and vehicle registration fees can be found here. http://www.bmv.ohio.gov/misc/fees.htm
Does the BMV keep crash report records? How do I obtain these records?
Anytime an individual is involved in a motor vehicle accident and a police report is made, all parties listed on the police report have an entry of that accident placed on their driving record. When this entry is placed on the record, there are no points assessed and it does not specify who was at fault.
A copy of the report may be obtained by writing to:
Department of Public Safety
1970 W. Broad Street
Columbus, Ohio 43223
There is a $4.00 fee for each copy requested. Questions regarding accident reports can be directed to the Traffic Crash Records at (614) 752-1583.
NOTE: A Police Report is different from a State Crash Report.
