The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) issues requests for proposals (RFP) for the selection and appointment of Deputy Registrars to operate license agencies throughout Ohio. RFP packets are generally released in January of each year (with the exception of 2013). License agencies provide driver licenses, ID cards, vehicle registrations and other services on behalf of the BMV.
Deputy Registrars are independent contractors and are selected on a competitive basis as described in the Ohio Administrative Code and RFP. Deputy Registrars receive service fees of $3.50 for each vehicle, driver license and ID card transaction; and $0.90 for each vision screening performed. All fees are established in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. Contracts are generally issued for three year terms.
Proposer conferences are held regionally in January each year. If you would like additional information, please call (614) 752-7631. A list of available contracts as well as proposer conference venues and dates are posted to the BMV’s Web site at http://bmv.ohio.gov/rfp.stm by the end of December.
The proposer must make application as an individual, a nonprofit corporation, county clerk of courts, or a county auditor. The Registrar may appoint county auditors and eligible clerk of courts without using a competitive selection process. However, county auditors and eligible clerk of courts may also be required to participate in the competitive selection process. Partnerships, corporations, and other business associations are not eligible. Certain other persons are not eligible (such as employees of the State of Ohio) and are listed in the RFP.
No person will be awarded a contract because that person pays an assessment to or makes a contribution to any political party, the Governor or his campaign committee, or any candidate for public office. An affidavit must be signed by all proposers stating that he/she has not contributed more than $100.00 to any prohibited political officeholder (complete details are contained in the RFP).
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles is looking for proposals that offer the best service to the citizens of Ohio. We welcome your interest in serving the Ohio motoring public.

Agency rent and site improvement is the responsibility of the Deputy Registrar. Some sites are under the control of the BMV, Ohio Department of Public Safety or a county (usually in conjunction with a clerk of courts title office) and are called BMV controlled-site locations. Minimal site improvements are involved with controlled site locations.
There are also deputy-provided sites where the successful proposer is required to provide, through lease or ownership, the site where the Deputy Registrar agency will be operated. In general, there are minimum site criteria including square footage, counter specifications, accessibility to individuals with disabilities and parking which must be addressed and are explained in the RFP.
Deputy Registrar contracts are subject to the provisions of Ohio Revised Code (R.C.) 125.081, which require the Registrar to set aside approximately 15 percent of the Deputy Registrar contracts for persons certified under Ohio Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) provisions.
Some locations are designated for one-stop shopping and are subject to additional requirements and may include subleasing space to a driver license examination station, a clerk of courts, or both.
The proposer must have verifiable funds in a financial institution account to cover site preparation costs, agency rental payments for three months and one month's personnel costs. The BMV supplies necessary computer terminals and inventory on a consignment basis.
