Legal Question in DUI Law in Ohio

I want to say I am not a bad person but a person with very little money. In ohio I owe $905 total to get my license reinstated/processing fees from 2006.

this is how my ohio.gov reinstatement requirements basically reads:

2006 - $125.00 reinstatement fee required

warrant block - $15 processing fee required

first ovi blood alcohol level .09 - $425.00 reinstatement fee required

noncompliance suspension 2006 - $300 reinstatement fee required

warrant block - $15 reinstatement fee required

child support suspension (taken care of) 25$ reinstatement fee required

my question is how long can all this keep me from getting my license. I can start paying these off but i don't even understand how i owe some of these things. i have only had my temporary license. i have never taken a physical driving test. i have only taken a written test. it has been eight years!

In Ohio, the BMV now has authorization from the Ohio Legislature to set people up on time payments for some of the fees that you describe above. You should call in and check on this. The rule is that so long as the driver is current on his time payments, they will issue you a license while you are still paying.

Very truly yours,
