Drivers with Excessive Tickets Excluded from Registration

D.E.T.E.R.

Due to the passage of Substitute House Bill 30 of the 125^th General Assembly, the Registrar of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicle is now permitted as of March 23, 2005, to block a motor vehicle registration for failure to pay a single non-criminal disability parking violation judgment.

BLOCKING A VEHICLE REGISTRATION

If you have three parking violations or one single violation for parking in a handicap parking space, your registration will be blocked until you pay the fees, per Section 4521.10 of the Ohio Revised Code. In order to remove the registration blocks, all outstanding judgments must be paid. A five-dollar fee ($5.00) per judgment is required in addition to the judgment dollar amount. You must contact the Violations Bureau, listed on your letter, and make payment in full to them 10 days before you can complete any vehicle registration activity. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Deputy Registrars WILL NOT accept payment for judgments. If you are a lease or commercial company and receive this notice, the entire fleet registered to you will be blocked until payment is made.

REMOVING A VEHICLE REGISTRATION BLOCK

The BMV will remove a vehicle registration block and permit vehicle registration activity when:

Status changes are received via FTP electronic medium from all involved TVB/PVB jurisdictions

Judgments are satisfied from all involved jurisdictions

Payment information received directly from the Agency

Presentation of a valid clearance form for the registrant faxed to the BMV by the Agency

Presentation of a valid clearance form forth e registrant to a Deputy Registrar

Notification from the Agency that judgments are dismissed, reversed on appeal or canceled

The customer can call the BMV phone center at 614-752-7600 or the Parking Violation Bureau that issued the ticket. Please see below the locations for the Parking Violations Bureaus:
