How Ohio BMV's Get In Line Online works

Ohio BMV license agencies are walk-in; there are no appointments. Get In Line Online lets you join an agency's line from home and get texts as your turn gets close. Driving tests are booked separately.
  1. 1

    Check if you can skip it

    Some renewals, reprints and address changes can be done online. Take our 4-question check first.

    Take the check
  2. 2

    Join the line

    Pick your agency on Get In Line Online, or join at the agency's kiosk or by its QR code. Some agencies post a phrase you can text to 24706.

  3. 3

    Watch for texts

    You'll get updates on your place in line. Texting STOP ends the messages but keeps your place; to cancel, find your ticket on Get In Line Online.

  4. 4

    Driving test? Book it

    Driving tests are scheduled on the BMV's online scheduler, at a driver exam station.

  5. 5

    Save your plan

    Add it to My plan here to get your checklist and a calendar reminder.
