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 begin. Hancock County drivers who need to confirm eligibility can also contact the Arlington Deputy Registrar on North Hanover Street before enrolling.

Complete the Course Lessons

Work through text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each one. Ohio mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required 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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension keeps your Hancock County driving privileges locked until the Ohio BMV sees that certificate. A court order stays open on your record until the course is finished. Even for a 2-point credit, every week you wait is another ticket away from hitting 12 points and triggering a suspension. Ohio also requires you to finish within 30 days of enrollment or you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

Ohio sets the floor at 8 hours of instruction. Here is how the two formats compare for an Arlington driver.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Work through the required hours across multiple sessions within the 30-day window, logging in and out as your day allows.
In-Person Classroom Drive to Findlay or another host city, sit through a full-day session, and lose most of a workday to travel and class time.

What Does the Course Cost?

The online course runs $76.00. Compare that to what an in-person day actually costs an Arlington driver.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online at TrafficSchool.net $76.00 covers all lessons, quizzes, the final exam, and your instant BMV Form 5789 certificate with nothing extra.
In-Person Classroom Tuition plus fuel for a round trip to Findlay and a full day off work adds up well beyond the online course price.

Questions Arlington Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers qualify under 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 within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete 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 OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. For Arlington drivers, confirm your specific situation with the Hancock County Clerk of Courts or the Arlington 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 any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you to 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. For Hancock County drivers sitting at 8 or 9 points, banking that credit now is the practical move before another stop on US-68 or State Route 103 adds more.

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 restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For Arlington drivers under a court order or reinstating a 12-point suspension, that delay also means your license stays suspended longer. The practical move is to start the first session within a day or two of enrolling and pace yourself across the 30 days rather than trying to cram everything into the final week. Set a reminder for day 25 so you have time to finish the final exam before the window closes.

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

The certificate generates instantly. Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 downloads as a digital PDF before you close the browser tab. No waiting for mail. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate directly to the Ohio BMV. Hancock County drivers can also bring it to the Arlington Deputy Registrar on North Hanover Street, which handles BMV transactions locally and is far closer than the Findlay BMV about 14 miles away. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Hancock County Clerk of Courts at 300 South Main Street in Findlay. Keep a copy for your own records. Current Ohio BMV requirements treat the date of submission as the effective date for the credit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current ODPS guidelines and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts total, with one attempt allowed per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and exist specifically to prepare you for the final. Take them seriously rather than clicking through. Arlington drivers who treat the quizzes as actual review rather than a checkbox tend to pass the final on the first attempt without needing the second.

Does completing the course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or expunge any violation from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two and creates a buffer before the next ticket triggers a suspension. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on your record. Drivers reinstating a 12-point suspension or completing a court order do not receive a point credit at all. For a clear picture of your current point total before or after submitting your certificate, contact the Ohio BMV or visit the Arlington Deputy Registrar on North Hanover Street.
