I have come twice to my local Ohio Bmv since I moved to Ohio from Florida. For those of you outside of Ohio, the BMV is the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, their version of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Pretty much everything is the same except for a few differences
The first time I came in was because I needed a notary in order to send some documents needed on the sale of my old home down in Florida. It was last minute and I was scrambling to find a notary. I had no idea who to go to or how much it would cost me. Thankfully someone at the front desk of the hotel I was staying in told me the local BMV has a notary service. I was super happy, I went in there and in no time I had the document I needed to send notarized. The best part was that it was free! I already was beyond satisfied with the service here because of that. They really saved me!
I later came back in order to get an Ohio drivers license. Small wait like (2 people). Once I gave them the required documents, I took my picture and they told me I would get my license in the mail in two weeks. It pretty similar the process like in Florida.
One thing I found out from them was that Ohio doesn't have auto tag agencies? In order to change your tag, you have to go do it at the courthouse.
Anyway a BMV/DMV where you don't spend hours wasting your time is great! read more
