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. Takes a few minutes to set up, and your progress saves automatically after every section so nothing gets lost if you close the browser.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson - unlimited free retakes, but you have to pass before moving on. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The whole course takes 8 hours minimum to complete per state mandate.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, your driving privileges stay restricted until the certificate hits the BMV or the court clerk. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can trigger a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also enforces a hard 30-day completion window from enrollment - miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course from scratch.

Need to Check Your Current Ohio Point Total?

Anna drivers can request a certified driving record through the Ohio BMV before enrolling to confirm their exact point count.

Questions Anna Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who has to take this course in Ohio, and what is the difference between a court order and a 2-point credit?

Five categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 active points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered students do not receive a 2-point credit - the certificate goes to the court clerk, not the BMV. Anna drivers in Shelby County submit to the Shelby County Clerk of Courts for court cases.

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 is subtract two points from your current active total under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point suspension threshold. If your record sits at 8 points and you earn the credit, your effective total drops to 6. The credit stays valid for three years, and you can use it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. After passing the course, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV - the Anna Deputy Registrar on North Street can assist with that submission.

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

Ohio requires completion of the Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the course entirely from the beginning - your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already under a suspension, that delay extends the time your license stays restricted. For 2-point credit cases, it pushes back the date you get that cushion on your record. The practical move is to start the course and work through it steadily. The Sidney BMV, about 20 miles from Anna, handles reinstatement paperwork if a lapse occurs.

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

Pass the final exam and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 certificate as a digital PDF immediately - no waiting for mail, no processing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office to Anna is in Sidney, roughly 20 miles north on US-33. The Anna Deputy Registrar on North Street can also accept the form for point credit processing under current Ohio BMV requirements. For court-ordered cases, deliver the certificate to the Shelby County Clerk of Courts in Sidney. Keep a copy for your own records regardless of which office you submit to.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day - you cannot retake it the same day you fail. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. This is not a situation you want to land in when you are already working against a suspension deadline or a court order. Work through the lesson quizzes seriously - they cover the same material as the final. The quizzes have unlimited free retakes, so use them before you sit the exam.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two. That is a meaningful buffer if you are sitting at 8 or 9 points and worried about the next ticket triggering a 12-point suspension. The violations themselves stay on your record. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not alter the underlying record. Confirm your current total at the Anna Deputy Registrar before and after submitting.
