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. Ashland County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. Once your ID clears, the course opens and your 30-day completion window starts.

Work Through the Course

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs through text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. Your progress saves automatically on the server after every section. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your required hours.

Pass the Final 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 your BMV Form 5789 certificate generates instantly as a digital PDF. The course runs 8 hours minimum per Ohio state mandate.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Ashland County drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is running. The court requirement stays open until the certificate hits the clerk's desk. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish before a reinstatement fee and full restart kick in.

Ashland County Drivers: Your Questions About the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers take this course under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers under 21 reinstating after an OVI or OVUAC alcohol offense, drivers 19 or older addressing a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers ordered by a court all take the course as a requirement. The fifth group takes it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes their record toward a suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. Voluntary completions do. Ashland County drivers in either situation submit BMV Form 5789 to the appropriate office when finished.

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

The 2-point credit creates a cushion on your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, a driver who accumulates 12 or more points within a two-year period faces a license suspension. The credit subtracts two points from that running total, which can keep you below the 12-point threshold if another ticket comes in. The credit does not erase existing violations or remove points already recorded. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a driving record. The credit is valid for three years, usable once every three years, and available a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Ashland County drivers submit the certificate to the Deputy Registrar on Claremont Avenue to apply the credit.

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

Ohio requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the state mandates a reinstatement fee and a full restart from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For Ashland County drivers already dealing with a suspension, that means more time without a valid license and an additional financial hit before you can resubmit to the Ohio BMV. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets this requirement, and it applies regardless of how much of the course you finished before the deadline passed. The practical move is to track your enrollment date and build in enough sessions across the 30 days to finish with time to spare.

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

Your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no processing delay. Ashland County drivers taking the course for a 2-point credit submit the certificate to the Ashland County Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV. Drivers completing a court order submit it to the Ashland County Clerk of Courts, located at 142 West 2nd Street in Ashland. The Ashland BMV Deputy Registrar office is the closest point-of-contact for most county residents handling reinstatement paperwork. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the only document required to apply the credit or satisfy the court requirement.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to two attempts, one per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from the beginning, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. Lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and do not carry the same consequence. The final exam is the only point where a second failure triggers a full reset. Ashland County drivers who hit that situation should re-enroll promptly so the 30-day clock gives them enough time to work through the material again.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a driving record. What the course does for voluntary enrollees is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces the running point total used to calculate whether you have hit the 12-point suspension threshold. Existing violations stay on the record. The credit simply lowers the number the BMV counts against that threshold. For Ashland County drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the certificate satisfies the reinstatement or compliance requirement. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ashland County Deputy Registrar or Clerk of Courts depending on your situation.
