Ohio Code 4519.10 – Temporary license registration for off-highway motorcycle or all-purpose vehicle
(A) The purchaser of an off-highway motorcycle or all-purpose vehicle, upon application and proof of purchase, may obtain a temporary motor vehicle license registration for it. The application shall be signed by the purchaser of the off-highway motorcycle or all-purpose vehicle. The temporary motor vehicle license registration shall be issued only for the applicant’s use of the off-highway motorcycle or all-purpose vehicle to enable the applicant to operate it legally while proper title and a registration sticker or license plate and validation sticker are being obtained and shall be displayed on no other off-highway motorcycle or all-purpose vehicle. A temporary motor vehicle license registration issued under this section shall be in a form prescribed by the registrar of motor vehicles, shall differ in some distinctive manner from a registration issued under section 4503.182 of the Revised Code, shall be valid for a period of forty-five days from the date of issuance, and shall not be transferable or renewable. The temporary motor vehicle license registration either shall consist of or be coated with such material as will enable it to remain legible and relatively intact despite the environmental conditions to which it is likely to be exposed during the forty-five-day period for which it is valid. The purchaser of an off-highway motorcycle or all-purpose vehicle shall attach the temporary motor vehicle license registration to it, in a manner prescribed by rules the registrar shall adopt, so that the numerals or letters are clearly visible.
