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 Lorain County location offers both services under one roof.
