BMV adds fees for late renewals

The Ohio Insurance Institute reminds Ohio motorists that new late fees are in place for driver's license and vehicle plate renewals. New Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicle requirements call for transactions to be completed within seven days of the expiration date or be assessed $20 per transaction.

To avoid late charges, OII advises Ohio motorists to renew plates and their drivers' licenses on or before their birthdays.

The new BMV regulation only provides a seven-day window before assessing a late charge.
