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. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not someone else doing it for you. Takes about five minutes to set up.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can close the browser and pick up exactly where you left off.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum, with a required 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands with the BMV or the Portage County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on State Route 43 or Aurora-Hudson Road can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension before the credit is in place. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Aurora Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers 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 reaching 12 or more points in a two-year period. 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. If you are in Aurora and unsure which category applies, check your suspension notice or contact the Portage County Clerk of Courts before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract two points from your current total, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward a 12-point suspension. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and you can apply it a maximum of five times in your lifetime. Drivers with 2 to 11 points are eligible. If you are sitting at 9 points and drive State Route 43 regularly, banking that credit before the next stop makes real sense. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Aurora Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV after passing.

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

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 over. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay means more time off the road and more time with an open court or BMV requirement. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the first time you log in to study. Aurora drivers who travel for work or have irregular schedules should map out their available study time before enrolling to make sure the window is realistic. Starting sooner gives you more buffer.

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

Pass the final exam and you get your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF immediately. There is no waiting period, no processing delay, and no mailing involved. You can download and submit it the same day you finish. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV or bring it to the Aurora Deputy Registrar, located in Aurora on Chillicothe Road. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Portage County Clerk of Courts, located in Ravenna about 10 miles west of Aurora on State Route 59. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the certificate must be submitted promptly to satisfy the reinstatement or credit requirement. Do not sit on it. The requirement stays open until the BMV or court receives and processes the form.

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. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window becomes a real concern at that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so by the time you reach the final exam you have already covered every topic. Take the quizzes seriously rather than clicking through them. Aurora drivers who treat the quizzes as actual review tend to clear the final on the first attempt without much trouble.

What does the course actually cover in those 8 hours?

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs a minimum of 8 hours of instruction, with no cap on how long you can take beyond that floor. Per ODPS curriculum requirements, at least 25 percent of the course covers driver attitude, meaning how decisions, emotions, and habits behind the wheel contribute to crashes and violations. At least another 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The rest covers Ohio traffic law, hazard recognition, and related material. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your 8 hours. The driver attitude section was the part that actually stuck with me after I took this course. It is not abstract. It connects directly to the kind of driving that gets points added in the first place.
