The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles website at https://www.dps.state.oh.us offers a free search by either title number or identification number. Search by title or VIN. The site also includes information on watercraft. Results do not include personal information. The title information available from this web page is obtained from Ohio county title offices. Title information may not exist in the system and on this web page for titles issued prior to March 1993, because all Ohio county offices were not automated until March 1993. For more information call 614-752-7598.
