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. Ashland County residents taking this course for a court order should confirm the requirement with the Ashland County Clerk of Courts before enrolling so you submit the right documentation.

Work Through the Course

The curriculum covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and general traffic safety through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. 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 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. Fail both and the course resets. Pass and you receive your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The course requires 8 hours of instruction minimum, as mandated by ODPS.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Ashland County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push you into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

Ashland Drivers Ask These Questions Most

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, licensed Ohio drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. 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 reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. Confirm your specific situation with the Ashland County Clerk of Courts or the Ashland Deputy Registrar before enrolling.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not erase points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against your current total. If you sit at 8 points and earn the credit, the BMV treats your record as if it reflects 6 points for suspension threshold purposes. The credit stays valid for three years, and you can use it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. Submit your BMV Form 5789 certificate to the Ashland Deputy Registrar on Claremont Avenue to apply the credit.

What happens if I do not finish within the 30-day window?

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 start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers already under a suspension, the license stays suspended during that gap. For 2-point credit cases, the delay leaves your record exposed to the next ticket without the cushion in place. The practical move is to enroll only when you have a realistic stretch of days to work through the material. Ashland County residents can confirm reinstatement fee amounts at the Ashland Deputy Registrar.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed or processed. For a 2-point credit, take that certificate to the Ashland Deputy Registrar on Claremont Avenue or submit it to the Ohio BMV as directed under current BMV requirements. For a court-ordered case, deliver it to the Ashland County Clerk of Courts, located at 142 West 2nd Street in Ashland. The Clerk of Courts is roughly a five-minute drive from most parts of the city. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the certificate is the official documentation the BMV and courts require to close out the requirement.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam gives you two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements, meaning you start over from lesson one. That reset also puts pressure on your 30-day completion window, so a second failure late in the window can force a full restart with the reinstatement fee. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Ashland drivers who reset should contact the Ashland Deputy Registrar about any updated reinstatement documentation needed.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Ashland, and is it worth it?

Ashland has no local classroom offering the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course. The nearest options require driving to Richland County, roughly 25 to 30 minutes south on US-42 toward Mansfield, and those sessions run on fixed schedules with limited seat availability. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the online course meets the same state requirements as any approved classroom. The curriculum covers the same driver attitude material, the same alcohol and drug content, and the same 8-hour minimum. The online version also saves progress automatically, so you are not locked into finishing in a single sitting. For most Ashland County residents juggling work and family, the online course is the more practical path to getting the certificate submitted.
