🚗Register Your License Plate for Communication Disability🚗

If you or someone you care for has a communication disability, you can help law enforcement respond appropriately during traffic stops.

✅ Step 1: Download the Communication Disability Verification Form on the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities website
✅ Step 2: Complete the form and have it verified by a physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist.
✅ Step 3: Submit the form to the Ohio BMV by mail, email (VIS-Administration@dps.ohio.gov), or in person at any Deputy Registrar office.

Once processed, your license plate will be added to a secure database that alerts officers to the communication disability if the plate is run.

📌 Access information and the form here: https://ood.ohio.gov/laws-rules-and-policies/forms/verification-form #:~:text=To%20add%20or%20remove%20people%20or%20license,guardian%20*%20A%20physician%2C%20psychiatrist%2C%20or%20psychologist
