Renewal without the physical license
My license expired 5 years ago, short version, had a few surgeries and was unable to renew at the time. My license was lost/destroyed in a flood we had in our basement along with other important family documents. How do I go about renewing and getting a new license issued? I still have my certs from the class I took. Any suggestions on proceeding? Should I contact Cuyahoga county sheriffs office and ask or is it better to resubmit the certs I have?

Re: Renewal without the physical license
There is no requirement in Ohio law for you to have/show/give your expired license to renew. They can look you up in the system to see that you were issued a license in the past and therefore eligible for renewal. Unfortunately, some counties have extralegal requirements they impose like that one. Assuming your county or a bordering county is accepting renewal applications, it would be worth contacting them to see what their requirements are and explain your situation.

FYI.... if you no longer have your expired license, you need to file a police report stating it was lost or damaged and bring the police report with you to your renewal appointment. My wife shredded mine thinking it was no good since it was expired. Cuyahoga county required me to file a report.

So... Cuyahoga is making {inappropriate language} up then.
