Ohio Registration Information

Registering your vehicle in Ohio is a key step before hitting the road, and having the right car insurance coverage is part of staying compliant with state law. When you register, you’ll need to provide proof of insurance that meets or exceeds the state’s minimum coverage requirements. Here’s what you’ll need to do to complete your Ohio vehicle registration:

  • Obtain an "out-of-state inspection certificate" from any Deputy Registrar's office first.
  • Take the out-of-state title and the inspection to any county title office and apply for Ohio title.
  • If the title is in two names, you will need two signatures or a power of attorney to represent the one who cannot sign.

If the title is held by a lienholder:

  • If your lienholder has your title, you must complete a transfer request and send it to your lienholder.

If the vehicle is leased:

  • Contact your leasing company for their procedures.
  • Get an out-of-state inspection completed.

Maintaining continuous coverage ensures you can legally drive and protects you financially in the event of an accident. Whether you’re renewing your registration or buying a vehicle for the first time, starting with a free Ohio car insurance quote from GEICO can help confirm you have the protection you need.
