maintained by the bureau of motor vehicles or by
electronic means, if the owner has consented to receive the notice in this
manner.

the notice, the owner of the motor vehicle shall verify the information

Revised Code, owners whose vehicle registration privileges are under
suspension; owners who previously gave a bad check in purported payment of
registration fees; owners who hold commercial radio or television reserve
plates; owners of gratis plates; owners of school, church, or transit bus
plates; owners of leased or fleet vehicles who fail to respond to any request
for information; and any other owner for good cause or for whom complete and

not relieve a motor vehicle owner from the responsibility to renew the

for renewal registration by mail or by electronic means if the application does
not comply with any applicable statute, any applicable rule, or any of the
instructions prescribed by the registrar.
