The mission of the Ohio Department of Insurance is to provide consumer
protection through education and fair but vigilant regulation while promoting a
stable and competitive environment for insurers.
A.M. Best Company is the leading provider of ratings, news and financial data
for the insurance industry worldwide and Best's Ratings are recognized as the
benchmark for assessing the financial strength of insurance related
organizations and the credit quality of their obligations.
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, which oversees driver and motor vehicle
licensing and registration, continues to make services more convenient,
efficient and cost-effective. A good example of BMV's strong commitment to
improving customer service is the creation of OPLATES.com - a website that
hundreds of thousands of Ohioans use each year to renew their vehicle
registrations and perform other business transactions with the BMV.
