Profile For Mister B.

Alright so here i am James K! Thanks for posting your out of state license post which sure helped me obtain my Ohio state CDL without a written test. Unfortunately, they DID NOT transfer my hazmat endorsement from MARYLAND and told me that i will have to carry out the whole process (fingerprinting/backgroundcheck/fees) all over again! BUT! When you arrive at a BMV in OH state they DO NOT ACCEPT your apartment/home lease as a proof of residence keep that in mind folks! The easiest,cheapest and best way is to transfer your out of state title to OH state which costs 18.50 plus the inspection (inspection comprises of ONLY vin number verification and has to match the title of your vehicle) that costs a mere 3.50! The transfer of my CDL cost me about 47.00 dollars with my endorsements being transferred along ,i.e, tanker and doubles and triples! And the location i went to was the same as you suggested me so with out any second thoughts i went to the alum creek location and had my CDL transferred in one plain trip to the BMV! Thanks again for the useful info James K and keep up the good work!

Ok sounds good. I will be living around Dublin area so it wont be hard for me to drive down to alum creek ( i googled it and its about 23 minutes drive from where i live). I was actually going to go to the location located on hayden run road but since it sounds like i will be better off if i follow your foot prints and go to alum creek since as you described your experience as being a pleasant one! I am not looking fwd to re-register any vehicle as it is both my vehicles are under my wife's name so thats not even a concern to me as of now! I will update you once i visit this location, which i guess will be the 30th of this month (january). From what i have read online and from word of mouth, the BMV in ohio doesnt seem to accept a house lease agreement as a proof of residency to my surprise. But never the less i will still try and see if they ll accept it. You never know eh? Well thanks again! Take care.

Hey James K your update sure turned out to be a big relief not because i was worried or anything but like you said its just a hassle to go thru again! Anyways i ll be moving to OH from MD and will be switching my CDL just like you did! But can you please tell me which BMV branch did you go to? Can you please specify the location/address? And what documents did they ask you to produce? Any? Or just none at all? I mean to prove your residency? I only have my lease on me and was wondering if they will accept it as a proof. Also did they ask you for your new DOT medical card or were they just ok with the one that you have from your previous state/doctor? Once again i really appreciate this update and will highly appreciate your response! Thanks again and good luck!
