Beginning on July 15, Ohio residents who owe at least $150
in driver’s license reinstatement fees will be able to have their license
suspensions lifted while they make payments on the fees that they owe. The
drivers will have to meet several conditions in order to be eligible for the
program, but this change in Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles requirements will
help a large number of state residents regain their driving privileges.
Currently in most cases, Ohio residents have to repay all of
their reinstatement fees before they can regain their driver’s licenses. For
people who owe thousands of dollars in fees, this can be very difficult,
especially if their inability to drive keeps from retaining a job.
Under the new policy that takes effect on July 15, Ohio
residents who have met all of their other license reinstatement requirements,
have proof of car insurance, do not have a pending license suspension and are
not already on a court ordered payment plan for their driver’s license will be
able to apply for the new reinstatement program.
The program allows eligible Ohio residents to pay a minimum
amount of $50 per month toward their license reinstatement fees and regain
their driving privileges as long as they remain current on their payments.
In order to apply for this program, Ohio residents should
visit an Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles License Reinstatement Center. The
nearest License Reinstatement Center is located at 110 Twin Oaks Drive in
Jackson. The facility is open 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Mondays through
Fridays. The phone number for the Jackson office is 740-286-5683.
Athens County residents can also contact Athens County
Reentry Program Coordinator Scott Zielinski at The Work Station at 740-797-1405
for additional information.
