Starting Wednesday, front license plates no longer needed in Ohio

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — Starting Wednesday, Ohioans will be allowed on the road with only the rear license plate.

Most vehicles can remove their front license plate as a new transportation bill takes effect.


Commercial tractors still must display their plates on the front of the vehicle.

Ohio now joins every state that borders it in not requiring a front plate.
