[Nodxa] Amateur Radio Plates in Ohio

Fri Aug 21 23:13:38 EDT 2020

The renewal for my truck plates was due May 
10.  I mailed the paperwork including copy of my 
license in mid-March and started to have concern 
when sticker did not appear by the beginning of 
May.  At that point I checked the state website 
and found out about the deadline waiver.  My bank 
statement in mid-June showed the check had 
finally been cashed and the sticker arrived in 
July.  Not really a mail delay but a DMV having 
to consolidate operations during an emergency affecting life for all of us.
