Section 4501.027 | Electronic and online formats.
(A) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the registrar of motor vehicles may conduct, or authorize a deputy registrar to conduct, any service or transaction authorized or required by law in an electronic or online format rather than in person. The registrar or deputy registrar also may accept electronically any documents required to accompany such service or transaction or any documents approved by the registrar for electronic or online submission and acceptance.

The registrar or deputy registrar may accept payment for any such service or transaction by a financial transaction device. The registrar or deputy registrar may charge a person who tenders payment for an online service or transaction by means of a financial transaction device any costs the registrar or deputy registrar incurs from accepting payment by the financial transaction device.
