Guernsey County District Public Library | Upcoming Events/Programs  Communication Disability Law An individual with a medically diagnosed communication disability who drives or regularly has someone with a communication disability in their vehicle, can voluntarily enroll in a database that connects to the Law Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS). An officer can then be made aware that the driver or a person in the vehicle may have difficulty communicating with the officer to reduce any potential misunderstandings or communication problems. Individuals who are interested in self-identifying can complete a Verification Form and take the completed Verification Form to their licensed medical practitioner who can validate the individual has a communication disability. Forms can be found online or in the front office of the Guernsey County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Completed Verification Forms can be mailed to: Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles/Vehicle Information Services P.O. Box 16521 Columbus, Ohio 43216-6521 Completed applications can also be e-mailed to VIS-Administration@dps.ohio.gov or hand delivered to any Deputy Registrar (BMV).
