Maybe you got a job transfer, or you're moving to be closer to family. Whatever the case may be, you're obviously getting packed up to move to Ohio. Before I give you some helpful tips on moving to Ohio, let me give you some demographics first. This state is in the north east segment of the United States. Ohio is nestled in between the state of Indiana to the west, and Pennsylvania to the east. North of Ohio's border is Michigan and Lake Erie. To the south of Ohio's border is Kentucky and West Virginia.

Now that you know where your new home is going to be, here's one of my helpful tips on moving to Ohio: about six weeks before you make your move, log onto to the Internet and
check out the FAQ section of the Ohio Chamber of Commerce web site. At
http://www.ohiochamber.com/about/faqs.asp, you can find valuable information that will help make your relocation to Ohio easier. If you're a business owner, it's essential that you log onto the Ohio Chamber of Commerce website.

When you pack up your clothing, here's another one of my helpful tips on moving to Ohio: we have a saying about the weather in "The Buckeye State": there are four seasons, "Winter", "Still Winter", "Almost Winter", and "Road Construction". The latter pertains to the summer months.
Keep in mind that the weather in Ohio is capricious. It can rain, snow, and be sunny and warm in just a period of hours. And that's no joke. Be sure to keep a raincoat and a jacket- a winter coat too, if it's between October and March- out of your suitcases when you move to Ohio.

Takeaways
  • Ohio is nicknamed "The Buckeye State".
  • After you live in Ohio for 30 days you're considered a resident.
  • Visit a Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV) office to get a new driver's license.
