Documents you should always have in your vehicle
Vehicle registration
You must carry your vehicle registration in your glove box or somewhere safe in your vehicle at all times. Ohio allows you to get a multiyear registration between two and five years in duration. Especially when you are going to have it for a long time, you need to make sure it’s well cared for. To register a vehicle, you must show the title or the lease and have your driver’s license.
Insurance card
Ohio has minimum auto insurance requirements. You must carry liability insurance in the amount of 25/50/25. This means you are covered for $25,000 in medical costs for one person, $50,000 for more than one person injured in a single accident, and also $25,000 for any property damage. If you have an accident, you will need to be able to show this insurance card, which you get when you sign up for a policy, to any police officer who requests it.
Driver’s license
Most people use their driver’s license as a form of ID and therefore carry it with them in their wallet. If you are in the vehicle, chances are your license will also be there. It never hurts to make a photocopy of your license and include it with the other documents in the glove box so that everything is right there if you ever need it.
