My fiance drives a vehicle registered in my name. He had his third dui in Ohio in 6 years. Will the vehicle in my name need dui plates?

If the judge imposes the yellow plates on your fiancee as a condition of driving, then he will need the yellow plates on whatever vehicle he drives, regardless of who owns it. So, if he is not driving your car, then you don't need yellow plates on it. If you are driving the car, then you don't need yellow plates on it. But any car he drives will need the yellow plates if that is the condition that the judge imposes.
A word to the wise, you need to stop loaning him your car. If he gets drunk again and gets in an accident and kills or hurts someone, they will come after you and your insurance company under a theory of negligent entrustment and then you stand to have a multi-million dollar judgment against you.
If he is granted driving priviliges and the judge orders that he have the plates, AND he is actually going to be driving your vehicle, then yes, he would have to have the plates on your car.
