Fee Payment Plans:
Ohio Revised Code Section 4510.10

You may contact the county or municipal court where you live for a fee payment plan.  The plan will allow you to request limited driving privileges while making payments to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) on your reinstatement fees.  The court is not required by Ohio law to grant a fee payment plan.  The fee payment plan will require a minimum payment of $50 per month.

Discharge in Bankruptcy:
Ohio Revised Code Section 4510.10(G)

Ohio law considers reinstatement fees as a debt that may be discharged in a bankruptcy.  The BMV needs to be in receipt of a copy of the Petition or Discharge in Bankruptcy and a copy of the Schedule of Debts indicating the debts that were included in the bankruptcy.  The BMV will review the documentation and remove the fees from your record that were included in the bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy documentation may be filed in person at one of our  BMV Regional Service Centers or may be mailed to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Attn: Financial Responsibility, P.O. Box 16583, Columbus, Ohio 43216-6583
