What are the Ohio Vehicle Registration and Title Requirements?

Answer:
If you need to title a vehicle in the state of Ohio,

you will need to have the following documents and bring them to the County Clerk of Courts title office:

· Application for Certificate of Title

· Previous title, signed and notarized

· Bill of sale

· Odometer statement for cars less than 10 years old

The registration takes place at a deputy registrar’s office, and requires the following items:

· Title

· Driver’s license

· Power of attorney documents, if applicable

Some counties require that you have your vehicle inspected for emissions. This is required before registration can occur. You will have to pay $34.50 to register a car, and you will also pay as much as $20 of local taxes.

You must apply for your title and register the vehicle within 30 days of purchase. The fee for a title is $5, plus a $5 fee for any liens. If you have not paid it yet at the time of registration, you will also have to pay sales tax on the vehicle.
