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, then you are in the course. Bainbridge residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio county, no special steps required.

Work Through the Course

Complete text and image-based lessons with quizzes between sections. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Your progress saves automatically after each section.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads immediately as a PDF.

Your Driving Privileges Stay at Risk Until This Is Done

A suspended license stays suspended until the course certificate hits the BMV or the court closes the requirement. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push you past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The 30-day completion window from enrollment is a hard state deadline. Start now and protect your ability to drive SR 50 to work every morning.

Questions Bainbridge Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 recognize five situations: drivers with 2 to 11 points seeking a 2-point credit, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers under a court order, drivers 19 or older addressing a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. The difference matters because a court-ordered completion does not generate a 2-point credit. The court tells you to finish the course, you finish it, and you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Geauga County Clerk of Courts. For the 2-point credit, you submit the same certificate directly to the Ohio BMV. Know which category applies to you before you enroll.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a 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 earn it a maximum of five times in your lifetime per current ODPS guidelines. For a Bainbridge driver sitting at 8 or 10 points, that 2-point cushion can be the difference between keeping your license and losing it after the next ticket. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from your enrollment date. Miss that deadline 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 reinstating a suspended license, that also means your license stays suspended longer while you restart. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every extra day without that credit is another day a new ticket could push your record past 12 points. Bainbridge residents dealing with a Geauga County court order face the same reset consequence. Log in regularly, track your enrollment date, and finish before the window closes.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates immediately as a downloadable PDF. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV, either at the Bainbridge Deputy Registrar on SR 50 or at the Chardon BMV Deputy Registrar roughly 15 miles north on SR 44. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Geauga County Clerk of Courts at 100 Short Court Street in Chardon. Per current ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the official proof of completion. Keep a digital copy and a printed copy. Do not assume the provider submits it for you. You are responsible for getting it to the right office.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. 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 window becomes a real problem at that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so use them. They cover the same material the final tests. The driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug sections together make up at least 50 percent of the curriculum, so do not skim those. Bainbridge drivers who treat the quizzes seriously rarely need the second exam attempt.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court can order points removed. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to your current total, which reduces the number showing against the 12-point suspension threshold. The violations that generated those points stay on your record. Insurance companies can still see them. The BMV still counts them for the three-year lookback period. The credit is a buffer, not a clean slate. For Bainbridge drivers who have already hit 12 points and are reinstating, the course is a reinstatement requirement, not a point-removal tool. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV in Chardon after passing to complete your reinstatement.
