The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles is making it easier for our troops overseas and their families to renew their driver licenses.

the BMV is offering deployed military service members, their spouses and dependents, online renewal services for driver licenses and identification cards.

In addition to being more convenient for military members, the new online renewal process through BMV Online Services saves an average of two weeks by providing electronic access as opposed to mailing a packet of information to be completed and mailed back. 

Now, the information is automatically uploaded into the processing system eliminating the need for redundant data entry, saving time and improving accuracy.

The new process will also reduce the likelihood of errors by identifying incomplete or missing information as well as informing the customer if there is an issue that prevents their application from being processed. 

Applicants will receive email notifications of the status of their application, including a notice when the application is approved and ready for payment.  Applicants are also able to monitor the status of their application directly through BMV Online Services.
