How important is it that I obtain an Ohio drivers license, vehicle registration or register to vote in Ohio?
Obtaining an Ohio driver’s license, vehicle registration and registering to vote in Ohio demonstrate your intent to make Ohio your state of residence. Since the Ohio Board of Regents Guidelines is meant to exclude from residency those who are in Ohio for educational purposes only, transferring these items of registration at the beginning of the 12-month period while establishing residency is a way to show that you intend to become an Ohio resident.
