Earlier this month, the BMV released its newly designed print-on-demand (POD) out-of-state inspection (OSI) form BMV 3706. The form is now available to all dealers via on-line services on the dealer website at www.ohioautodealers.com. BMV has requested that all current inventory of inspection forms be depleted prior to utilizing the POD version.

The new form is an 8.5” x 11” single sheet that is no longer numerically numbered. Therefore, there is no longer a need to place orders with the dealer licensing section. The BMV feels that this new POD option will be a great benefit to not only the dealer but to the state as well. The POD option will enable the dealer to have access to the form without having to maintain an inventory. That being said, the dealer is still responsible for proper use of the forms and following the guidelines below:

• Forms are NOT to be sent to any dealer/customer that is out of state, NO EXCEPTIONS! There are specific procedures in place with the Clerk of Courts for those who are located out of state and need an inspection.
• Inspections that are performed MUST be done ONLY at the dealership location.
• Dealers may NOT charge a customer more than $3.50 per inspection.
• The completed OSI form is to be given to the customer.

All versions of BMV 3706 will be accepted by the Clerk of Courts in order to deplete inventories of the current form. If you have any questions please feel free to contact a dealer representative of the BMV at 614-752-7636.
