You may obtain an application for an IFTA license (see pages A-2 and A-3) by contacting the Ohio Department of Taxation at (614) 466-3921, contacting any of the offices specified on page A-1, or going to our Web site at .ohio/tax.
Today, members of the IFTA include 48 states in the U.S. and 10 Canadian provinces. If you own/operate a qualified vehicle in more than two of the jurisdictions, you are required to have an IFTA license. A vehicle qualifies if it has the following: 2 axles and a GVW exceeding 26,000 pounds.
If your company requires an IFTA license, you need to apply in the state where your company is based. IFTA application forms can be found online. They are administered by your state Department of Transportation or tax collection agency.
Acquiring IFTA stickers is a relatively simple process: Fill out an application with your home state's department of transportation. Once approved, IFTA decals will be issued and mailed for the current year. A temporary license and IFTA decal permit can be printed in the meantime.

There's no requirement to complete a vehicle bill of sale form when purchasing a vehicle from within the state of Ohio. However, you might need one to officially record the transfer of ownership if you're purchasing a vehicle from out of state.
