The clerk of which court must be notified within 30 days of an agent's change in principal business address and phone?

• A. Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas where the agent is registered
• B. Clerk of the Court of Appeals
• C. Clerk of the Municipal Court
• D. Clerk of the Supreme Court

Answer: (A)

Registration and up-to-date contact records for bail agents are managed at the county level by the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas. In Ohio, a bail agent must be registered with the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas in the county where the agent operates, and any change to the principal business address or phone must be reported to that clerk within 30 days. This keeps the official records current so the court and the public can reach the agent for notices, paperwork, or enforcement actions. The other courts—the Court of Appeals, Municipal Court, and Supreme Court—do not handle bail agent registration, so they aren’t the ones you notify.
