Ohio DMV Locations

Introduction

There are several types of BMV (Ohio’s equivalent of the DMV) locations or independent contractor locations in Ohio. These include the License Agencies and Deputy Registrar License Agencies (which handle registrations), the Title Bureau or County of Clerks Title Offices, Driver Exam Stations, and Commercial Driver’s License Skills and Testing Centers.

Some locations fall into more than one category because they offer more than one type of service. It can be difficult for drivers to figure out which location they may need to select to get the specific services they are looking for.
