Fairborn License Bureau Moving Near Kroger: New Location Opens December 14

Fairborn License Bureau Moving To New Location

A familiar stop for Fairborn drivers is getting a new address. According to the relocation announcement, the Fairborn License Bureau is scheduled to open at 1930 Commerce Center Boulevard, Fairborn, OH 45324, on December 14, 2026.

For residents who need to renew a driver’s license, get vehicle plates, or help a teenager obtain a learner’s permit, this is a local update worth saving before your next visit.

Where Is the New Fairborn License Bureau?

The new office will be located on Commerce Center Boulevard, near the Kroger shopping center off Dayton Yellow Springs Road. If you know the area around Planet Fitness, Chipotle, and the nearby shopping and dining destinations, you’re already familiar with this part of Fairborn.

The location is also not far from the new Fairborn High School, giving residents another recognizable landmark when planning their trip.

New address:
1930 Commerce Center Boulevard
Fairborn, OH 45324

Announced opening date: December 14, 2026

What Can You Do at the Fairborn License Bureau?

Although many people think of the license bureau as the place to renew their license or tags, the Fairborn office handles several other transactions. Its currently advertised services include:

  • Driver’s license transactions, including renewals and converting an out-of-state driver’s license to Ohio.

  • Ohio identification cards for residents who need a state-issued ID.

  • Vehicle registration and license plates, including registration renewals and new plates.

  • Disability parking placards for eligible applicants.

  • Learner’s permits for new drivers.

  • Written knowledge testing for driver’s license and motorcycle learner permits; the office specifies that it does not offer CDL written testing.

  • Out-of-state vehicle identification number inspections, commonly called VIN inspections.

  • Driver abstracts, which provide driving-record information.

  • Commercial driver’s license self-certification.

  • License reinstatement assistance, including accepting payments and supporting documents.

Residents can also apply for an Ohio REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card at a deputy registrar agency. Review Ohio BMV’s document checklist before visiting, since the required paperwork depends on the credential and transaction.

Moving to Fairborn From Another State?

The license bureau can be a helpful stop as you settle into your new home. The Fairborn office advertises out-of-state license conversions, VIN inspections, and new license plates.

One distinction can save you an extra trip: vehicle title transfers are handled through a County Clerk of Courts Title Office. New Ohio residents generally need to complete the Ohio title process before obtaining their Ohio vehicle registration and plates.

Check Before You Visit During the Move

The announcement provides the new address and opening date, but residents should confirm operating hours, testing availability, and any temporary closures associated with the relocation before heading out.

The Fairborn License Bureau’s published phone number is 937-878-4040. Visit FairbornLicenseBureau.com or Ohio BMV for service information and document requirements.
