All other driver examination station skills testing will be able to resume on Tuesday, June 16 by appointment.
The driver's license test will be modified by allowing individuals who are testing, to be scored by the examiner from outside the car. This is to be in accordance with the Ohio Department of Health and Center for Disease Control recommended health and safety guidelines.
The BMV says it will reach out to people who had a test cancelled due to COVID-19 as a way to offer priority-based scheduling.
Licenses, identification cards, vehicle registrations, or temporary permits that expired on or after the state of emergency’s effective date of March 9, 2020, have automatically been given an extension and will remain valid until 90 days after the state of emergency ends, or December 1, 2020, whichever date comes first.
Majority of services and transactions that Ohioans rely on the BMV for, can be at www.OPlates.com.
Individuals who must physically be at a BMV location are encouraged to use the "Get In Line, Online,” feature which allows customers to virtually get in line before arriving. You can learn more about that feature here.
