Can I request a personalized license plate in Ohio?

Yes, you can request a personalized license plate in Ohio. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) offers this option for vehicle owners who wish to have a unique plate. To get a personalized plate, you can visit the BMV website or a local deputy registrar agency. Check the availability of your desired plate combination to ensure it is not already taken.
