Yes, if you have moved to Ohio you will need to obtain not only Ohio car insurance but also Ohio license plates and registration.

The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) states that if you are new to Ohio, you will need to acquire new driver license, license plates, and an Ohio title for your car.

The BMV website lists the steps to take in order to obtain the new driver's license, tags for your vehicle and Ohio title for your car. Or you can go to your local BMV and obtain a pamphlet designed for new residents to OH which explains the procedures for getting these items.

Once one moves to Ohio and become a resident, you need to become an official Ohio driver as soon as possible according to Ohio laws. You are considered an Ohio resident once you: take a job, sign a lease, buy a home, register to vote, or enroll children in school.

You may be able to obtain car insurance with your Texas plates if your are in the process of changing over your license, etc. To get a quote for Ohio car insurance click here.
