Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start any coursework. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not someone doing it on your behalf. Get this done in one sitting so nothing delays your 30-day clock.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Per current ODPS guidelines, a 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Your progress saves automatically after each section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and you immediately receive BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF. Total required seat time is 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the Adams County Deputy Registrar or your court the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol-related offense, the clock on your driving privileges does not restart until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate hits the BMV. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket can push your record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. That window is fixed.

Common Questions from Adams County Drivers

Who has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Ohio recognizes five reasons a licensed adult driver takes this course. A court order means a judge mandated it as part of your case, and no 2-point credit applies in that situation. The 2-point credit is a separate option available to drivers who have accumulated 2 to 11 points and want a cushion before the next ticket pushes them toward a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, an under-21 alcohol-related offense, or a juvenile suspension from before age 18 also qualify. Adams County drivers should confirm their specific reason before enrolling so the certificate goes to the right place, either the BMV or the Clerk of Courts.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points through an expungement or similar legal process. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion so the next ticket does not immediately push you over 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date of course completion. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in your lifetime. For an Adams County driver sitting at 9 or 10 points, that cushion is the difference between keeping your license and losing it on the next stop.

What happens if I do not finish the course within 30 days of enrolling?

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For Adams County drivers who are already suspended, that means more time without a valid license while you restart. The practical move is to log in consistently across the first two weeks rather than leaving the bulk of the coursework for the final days. The course saves your progress automatically after each section, so there is no reason to try finishing it in one sitting.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam, and where do I send it?

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Adams County Deputy Registrar is located in West Union and can process BMV submissions for Adams County residents. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the court that issued the order, which for most Adams County residents is the Adams County Clerk of Courts in West Union. Confirm the submission method your court prefers, whether that is email, in-person delivery, or fax, before you show up. Having the digital PDF means you can send it the same day you pass.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, so the second try cannot happen until the following day. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and your 30-day completion window resets as well per current ODPS guidelines. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so by the time you reach the final exam you will have covered every topic the state tests. Adams County drivers who treat the lesson quizzes seriously rather than clicking through them tend to clear the final without needing the second attempt.

Does completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course remove points from my record?

No. Completing the course does not remove any existing points or violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points through a legal process. What the course provides, for drivers taking it for the 2-point credit reason, is a 2-point credit applied against your current total. That credit creates a buffer so your next ticket does not immediately trigger a 12-point suspension. For drivers completing the course due to a court order or to reinstate after a suspension, the certificate satisfies the state requirement and allows the BMV to restore driving privileges, but the underlying record stays intact. Adams County drivers should request a copy of their driving record from the BMV after submitting the certificate to confirm the credit posted correctly.
