What is a Limited Term License?

A Limited Term license is issued to adults who meet certain eligibility criteria set by the Ohio BMV. It allows qualified individuals to legally drive in Ohio while completing any remaining licensing steps.

A limited term license is the form of driver license issued to temporary residents in the United States that is valid for the duration of their stay. A temporary resident is a person who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident under U.S. immigration laws, but who does have legal presence in the country. In 2024 the Ohio BMV issued 33,748 new limited term licenses.

Taking a 24-hour drivers ed course is a key requirement—and Drivers Education of America is your trusted partner to get it done fast and efficiently.

If you choose to test in person, you must bring acceptable identity documents that provide proof of your:

Full legal name
Date of birth
Social Security number (if assigned)
