Clerk of Courts Title Offices

BMV Deputy Registrar Offices

Vehicle registration, license plates (new, renewal, replacement), driver licenses, state ID cards, REAL ID, reinstatement-fee payments, and other BMV counter services.

Combined BMV and Title Offices

Both BMV deputy registrar services and County Clerk of Courts title services at one location.

Driver Exam Stations

Knowledge tests (written permit exams), driving skills tests, motorcycle endorsement tests, and CDL written exams.

Self-Service Kiosks

Eligible BMV self-service transactions such as registration renewal, duplicate registration, and sticker replacement.

BMV vs. Clerk of Courts

Ohio splits vehicle services between two office types. BMV deputy registrars handle registration, plates, licenses, and REAL ID. Clerk of Courts title offices handle all title work, including transfers, duplicates, and lien releases. If you need both (like buying a used car), check whether a Hamilton County location offers both services under one roof.
