Losing your license can be frustrating but understanding why it happened and what steps you need to take can help you get back on the road faster. Below, we outline the different types of suspensions in Ohio, the penalties you might face, and the fees required for reinstatement.
House Bill 29, which takes effect on April 10, 2025, provides relief for certain suspended drivers in Ohio by removing or modifying some suspension requirements. Key provisions include:
Eliminates license suspensions for failure to pay court fines or fees
Automatically reinstates qualifying suspended licenses with no fee
Reduces the lookback period for driving without insurance from five years to one year
Allows those with child support-related suspensions to apply for limited driving privileges in all cases
To regain your driving privileges after a suspension, follow these steps:
Get your SR-22 bond – This is necessary for most suspensions related to no insurance or high-risk driving offenses.
Pay the required reinstatement fees based on your suspension type. Fees range from $40 to $475 depending on the offense.
Visit the Ohio BMV website to confirm that your license is reinstated before driving.
If you need an SR-22 Bond to get your license back, SR22 Ohio offers the fastest and most affordable coverage in the state.
