Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. That step confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, which is a current Ohio BMV requirement before any instruction begins. Alliance residents with a Stark County license use the same process as anyone else statewide.

Work Through the Course Material

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and related traffic safety content. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to move forward. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Progress saves automatically after each section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The full course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the BMV or your court the same week.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension through the Stark County system does not lift on its own. A court order stays open until the certificate hits the clerk's desk. And if you are sitting at 8 or 9 points right now, one more ticket on State Route 62 or anywhere else in Stark County can push you into suspension territory fast. The state also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Bank the credit or clear the requirement before the window closes.

Questions Alliance Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

Five groups of licensed Ohio adults qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers who received a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered students do not receive a 2-point credit; the certificate goes to the court instead of the BMV. If you are an Alliance driver unsure which category applies, check with the Stark County Clerk of Courts or the Alliance Deputy Registrar before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years from the date it is applied, and you can use it once every three years with a lifetime maximum of five times. So if you are sitting at 8 points right now and a ticket on Glamorgan Street or anywhere else in Stark County adds 2 more, having that credit already banked keeps you under the suspension threshold. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Alliance Deputy Registrar or the nearest BMV office to get the credit applied.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. That rule comes from Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 and applies to every student regardless of reason for taking the course. Miss that window and the course resets entirely. You would need to pay the enrollment fee again and restart from the beginning. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, the suspension also continues until a valid certificate reaches the BMV. For court-ordered students, the court deadline does not pause because the online window expired. The practical move is to start the first session within a day or two of enrolling and treat the 30-day mark as a hard stop. The Alliance Deputy Registrar office on South Freedom Avenue can confirm current BMV reinstatement requirements if you have questions about your specific case.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a downloadable PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers taking the course for a 2-point credit or to reinstate after a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office to Alliance is in Canton, roughly 15 miles south on State Route 62. You can also submit to the Alliance Deputy Registrar for certain transactions. Drivers who took the course under a court order submit the certificate directly to the Stark County Clerk of Courts. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the 2-point credit after receiving the original Form 5789. Keep a copy for your own records before you hand anything over.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and is provided by the state. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the entire course resets. You start over from lesson one and the 30-day window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you hit the final. The driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug content together make up at least half the course by state mandate, so those two areas deserve the most attention during review.

Does finishing this course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points from an Ohio driving record. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces the active point total by two. That credit creates breathing room between your current total and the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension. Existing violations stay on the record. The credit is valid for three years and can be used once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. Drivers taking the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement do not receive the 2-point credit at all; the certificate simply satisfies the requirement. The Stark County Clerk of Courts handles record-related court petitions for Alliance residents if you want to pursue actual point removal through the legal process.
