License renewal

[gen3flygirl]

Does anyone know how early you can get you licensed renewed? There is a chance I have a summer job out of state and my license expires in July. So do I have to wait until the month of my birthday or can I get it renewed 2-3 months before.

edit: anytime.

< 90 days to expire, then new one's good for 5 years.

> 90 days, new one's good for 4.

Prior to Expiration Date

Ohio Revised Code Section 4507.09

A driver's license will normally expire on the fifth birthday after issuance. There is an exception for drivers between the ages of 16 and less than 21. A driver license can be renewed anytime prior to its expiration date.

However, if an Ohio license is renewed more than 90 days prior to its normal expiration date, the license will expire on the customer's fourth birthday (three years plus the customer's upcoming birthday) from the date of issuance.

If the customer renews 90 days or less prior to their normal expiration date, the license will expire on the customer's fifth birthday (four years plus the customer's upcoming birthday) from the date of issuance. Unless applicable to circumstances listed below, no license shall be issued for a period longer than four years and 90 days.

Examples:

Expiration October 31, 2009, Customer renews on July 15, 2009 (more than 90 days) - New Expiration Date is: October 31, 2012.

Expiration October 31, 2009, Customer renews on August 1, 2009 (90 days or less) - New Expiration Date is: October 31, 2013

I thought it was BMV

[gen3flygirl]

Damn it you're right

Be aware OH has new federally compliant licenses available. You don't have to get this version but by like 2017 (forget exact year) all will need to be converted. You can read about it on the BMV site. Mine expires in Aug.

[gen3flygirl]

Good to know^ they also have new stuff for cdl drivers that I have to deal with.

Alumn Creek is a well-oiled machine. I'd go there.

[gen3flygirl]

I have to go to court Monday to testify against the dumb bitch that causes the 3 bus accident I was in so I might just go after that. If I'm going to be pissed at the state might as well make a day of it.

dunno, but for the new compliant driver's license, you might want to have birth certificate or passport with you when you go.
