- A BMV Certificate for Money or Government Bonds in the amount of $30,000 on deposit with the Ohio Treasurer of State.
- a BMV Certificate of Self-Insurance, available only to companies or persons who own at least twenty-six motor vehicles.
FR proof must list:
- The vehicle that was being driven at the time the ticket was issued.

Failure to provide proof of insurance will result in your driver’s license being suspended for a minimum of 90 days by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
