Your friend can only buy temporary plates BEFORE he goes to the title office. Once the title is transferred into his name, he can only buy regular plates.
No, you have to transfer the title at a title office. There is one located in the Lewis Center Walmart plaza that is just a few miles from the Worthington License Bureau. After transferring the title, your friend should be able to get temporary plates at the license bureau.
