Drivers may take their written test in person at the Champaign County Deputy Registrar’s office.

Potential driver license recipients who have a valid temporary permit can go to the Ohio BMV website – bmv.ohio.gov and designate the Champaign County location. Tests will be available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. Administrative cost for scheduled appointments will be $35.00 ($20.00 driving test, $15.00 maneuverability) and non-scheduled testing will be $40.00 ($25.00 driving test, $15.00 maneuverability).

“We are excited to team up with the State BMV to give citizens more locations to take their driver examinations,” stated Clerk of Courts Penny S Underwood. “The Clerk of Courts is always about good customer service and providing opportunities for our citizens to obtain their titles, deputy registrar needs and legal documents. By adding this driver exam location, we can expedite the timeframe for obtaining a driver license in this area.”
