Ohioans now able to order driver’s license reprints online

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) will now be able provide drivers with valid Ohio credentials the ability to order one reprint of their driver license or identification card (ID) online.

Customers could previously only obtain a driver license or ID renewal by visiting a Deputy Registrar location.

This new service is estimated to save an average of 500,000 visits to Deputy Registrar agencies per year, according to state officials.

The announcement was made by Lt. Gov. Jon Husted as part of InnovateOhio.

“This priority project of InnovateOhio is another example of our work to change the culture of state government to be more customer-service friendly,” said Lt. Governor Husted, Director of InnovateOhio. “Instead of having to take a trip to the BMV, customers can now order an exact reprint of their license from the convenience of their home.”

A reprint is an exact copy of the last-issued credential, with no changes to an individual’s personal information.

Only one reprint is available between the initial issuance and renewal of an Ohio credential or between renewals of an Ohio credential.

Customers may order an exact reprint of their driver license or ID by visiting the Ohio BMV website, choosing “BMV Online Services,” selecting “DL/ID Reprint,” then logging in.
