COLUMBUS, Ohio—Going to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles is an activity most people don’t look forward to. But some BMV hours are getting shorter and one area branch has already been closed.

Once again, the struggling economy is forcing state agencies to take action, NBC 4‘s Matt Alvarez reported.

“Certainly with the impact of the state budget, every agency out there is doing everything they can to be as efficient as possible,“ said Lindsay Komlanc, of the Ohio Department of Public Safety.

In the name of efficiency, the BMV’s West Broad Street center will be closed on Sundays and Mondays. The center will also be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday—30 minutes later—and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

The Alum Creek Drive BMV location closed its doors last week.

Another BMV inconvenience is affecting Central Ohioans. Several drivers are still waiting on registration stickers to put on their license plates.

“The first week of February, we identified an issue with our system that scans and receives mail and checks. The system was failing to recognize them out,“ Komlanc said.

The problem has since been fixed and drivers should be received an extension letter in the mail which they should keep in their car until the new stickers are received.

Anyone who hasn’t received a letter or sticker should call 614-752-780
