Interactive Demo: How It Works

Real Stories

I tried to get an Ohio ID for 3 months. Every time I went to BMV, I was missing something. CivicBridge told me exactly what to bring AND that I needed to request a UC letter first. I got my ID in one visit.

Fatima A.
International Student from Morocco

I didn't know CPT and OPT were different things. The app explained it in plain English, calculated my deadline, and connected me to ISSS. Without that timeline calculator, I would've missed my window.

Marcus K.
UC Engineering Student

As an advisor, I see students who've been sent to 4 wrong offices before reaching us. CivicBridge routes them correctly the first time, and they arrive prepared. It makes my job so much easier.
