Ohio law provides child support agencies with the ability to suspend the drivers’ licenses of parents who are behind on their child support payments. If a parent is in default or has failed to comply with a warrant or subpoena, the CSEA may send a notice to the Bureau of Moter Vehicles (BMV) to suspend their license. The BMV will not renew or issue any driver’s license to the delinquent parent, suspend any license currently held by the delinquent parent and not reinstate any license until notified by the CSEA. A parent must be behind at least one month in their support and have received a “Notice of Default” before the CSEA can suspend their license.
How do I get my driver’s license reinstated?
The agency will reinstate your driver’s license if you provide employment or bank account information and pay at least one month of support. If you would like the CSEA to reinstate your driver’s license, please pay at least one month of support and fill out a request for reinstatement form. You will then need to go to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles and pay a $25 reinstatement fee.
