means" includes transmissions by telephone and over the internet, and any other
electronic transmissions approved by the registrar of motor vehicles.
(B) Any owner of a motor vehicle who receives
a vehicle registration renewal notice stating that he or she is eligible to
apply for registration renewal by electronic means pursuant to rule

of the Administrative Code may apply to renew the registration for that vehicle
in accordance with the provisions of this rule.
(C) The registrar shall establish a telephone
number and an internet web site, and may establish other media, for receiving
vehicle renewal applications by electronic means.
(D) If, upon receipt of a registration
renewal notice, the owner of the motor vehicle chooses to register it by
electronic means, the owner may begin the process by accessing the telephone
number, web site, or other electronic site established by the registrar. The
site established by the registrar shall contain in electronic form essentially
the same information contained in the registration renewal notice. The vehicle
owner shall verify the information contained therein, affix the owner's
electronic signature, and return it together with payment of all the
registration taxes and fees due to the registrar by electronic means, all in
accordance with this rule and any instructions prescribed by the registrar. The

laws.

taxpayer identification number, a personal identification number (PIN) assigned
by the registrar, a derivative of any of the foregoing numbers, or any other
electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to or logically associated the
registration record. Compliance with the elements prescribed by the registrar
shall evidence the owner's intent to sign the registration application and
shall constitute the signature of the vehicle owner.
(G) The registrar shall specify the financial
transaction devices which are acceptable for payment of all the registration
taxes, fees, contributions, and other charges due with the renewal application
in compliance with the provisions of section
113.40 of the Revised Code. the
vehicle owner shall submit payment of all the taxes, fees, contributions, and
other charges by electronic means in accordance with the registrar's
instructions.

reject any application for renewal registration 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.
(I) In carrying out the registrar's duties
under this rule, the registrar may contract with outside sources to process any
information, send and receive any information or notices, and take any actions
on behalf of the registrar as the registrar may prescribe.
