Asked in DUI / DWI for Ohio

Q: I was charged with a DUI 10 yrs ago in Ohio. I am moving back with a valid FL DL. Will I face problems getting an OH DL?

I completed my entire sentence. jail time, diversion program, paid all my fines etc... the only thing I never did was pay the $475.00 to reinstate my OH Driver’s License because I had moved back home with my parents and started my life over in FL. I’ve had a valid Driver license for over 10 years and no problems driving in Ohio when I’ve visted family or FL. I am moving for a promotion for work and want to get ahead of any potentional problems. Thank you!!
