Do I have to submit a new DMA form every year?
Yes, the DMA form is part of the Aircraft Registration Application and must be submitted each time an aircraft is registered under one of the categories requiring payment. If an aircraft is owned by more than one person, each of the owners must complete a DMA form as part of the Aircraft Registration Application.
What Aircraft Home Base information is required?
All Aircraft Registration Applications MUST include complete information about Aircraft Home Base including airport name, identifier and airport address if the airport is not a known public use airport.
What if the number of seats listed on my aircraft registration application (for renewal) is not the same as the actual number of seats in my aircraft?
The registration fee for your aircraft is based on the maximum certificated seating capacity of that aircraft. The FAA provides this information to the Office of Aviation. (to see the maximum certificated seating capacity of your aircraft when making application for a new Ohio registration go to: http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/
What is the quickest way to get an answer to my registration question?
During the first part of the year, when a large number of registration renewals are being processed, the quickest way to get an answer to a registration question is by E-Mail. The new Aircraft Registration E-Mailbox has been established to assist Ohio’s Aircraft Owners. Please forward your registration questions by clicking on the link above.
What is the best way to submit a Change of Aircraft Base or Aircraft Owner Change of Address?
Ohio Revised Code (ORC 4561.18) requires owners of registered aircraft to update the ODOT Office of Aviation if the airport or other place at which the aircraft is usually based changes. The best way to forward this information to the Office of Aviation is to use the Aircraft Registration E-Mailbox. 
Information required when submitting changes.
What if my Aircraft Registration Application is returned?
Here are some of the more common reasons an application cannot be processed:
DMA form - missing, incomplete, or not readable.
A new DMA form must be submitted annually as part of your paid aircraft registration application. If an aircraft is owned by more than one person, each of the owners must complete a DMA form as part of the Aircraft Registration Application. No DMA form is required for aircraft being registered as; Sold, Not based in Ohio, or Not Airworthy.
Aircraft Home Base information missing.
All Aircraft Registration Applications MUST include complete information about Aircraft Home Base including airport name, identifier and airport address if the airport is not a known public use airport.
Payment - check not enclosed, amount not correct, check not signed.
If the registration category requires payment, the check amount must match the amount shown on the Aircraft Registration Renewal form and be made payable to the Treasurer State of Ohio. There is no fee for aircraft being registered as; Sold, Aircraft Not Based in Ohio, or Not Airworthy.
Registration Category - proper "Category" box not checked.
Aircraft owner must indicate the registration category by checking the appropriate box. (New, Renewal, Sold, Aircraft Not Based in Ohio, Not Airworthy), and include the DMA form and payment if required.
