Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, confirm you hold a valid Ohio license, and upload a government-issued photo ID. Identity verification is required by the state before any coursework begins. Belmont County residents have used this same enrollment process to satisfy both court orders and point-credit requirements.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The curriculum covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety topics through text and image-based interactive lessons. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your total instruction hours.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish in 8 hours minimum. Pass and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a digital PDF, ready to submit to the Belmont County Clerk of Courts or the BMV.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or the courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the clock matters too. 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 state also enforces a hard 30-day completion window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

Need to Check Your Current Ohio Point Total?

Belmont County drivers can request a certified driving record from the Ohio BMV before enrolling to confirm their exact point count.

Questions Bridgeport Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take this course in Ohio, and what is the difference between a court order and a 2-point credit?

Five categories of Ohio drivers are eligible for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit. Drivers who hit 12 points and received a suspension must complete it before reinstatement. Courts can also order it directly, in which case no 2-point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older dealing with a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension, also qualify. For Bridgeport residents, the Belmont County Clerk of Courts handles court-ordered filings. Confirm which category applies to you before enrolling so you submit the certificate to the right place.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations 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 under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, creating a cushion before your next ticket could push you over 12 and trigger a suspension. The credit is valid for three years from the date it is applied, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. If your record currently sits at 8 points, for example, the credit brings the effective total to 6. For Bridgeport drivers, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV office in St. Clairsville, about 8 miles west on US-40, to get the credit applied.

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

The state requires full completion of the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and your enrollment expires. You pay the course fee again and restart from the beginning. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, the suspension stays active the entire time. For court-ordered cases, the court deadline does not pause because your enrollment lapsed. Thirty days is enough time to finish if you treat it like an actual task rather than something to get to later. Log in within the first few days, work through the lessons in chunks, and do not let the final week sneak up on you. Belmont County court deadlines will not extend because of an expired enrollment.

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

Pass the final exam and your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates as a digital PDF immediately. No waiting, no processing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest office to Bridgeport is the St. Clairsville BMV, approximately 8 miles west on US-40. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Belmont County Clerk of Courts. Per current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the certificate must be submitted promptly after completion. Do not sit on it. For suspension reinstatement cases, the BMV also requires a reinstatement fee separate from the course. The certificate alone does not automatically restore your driving privileges; the BMV processes the reinstatement after receiving it.

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. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the entire course resets. You start over from lesson one, which also means your 30-day window becomes a real concern if you burned time getting to the exam. The passing score is 75%. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the exam is state-provided and the two-attempt rule is not something the course provider can waive. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you sit for the final. Bridgeport drivers who treat the quizzes seriously tend not to 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 an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course provides for eligible drivers is a 2-point credit, which reduces your effective point total by two. The underlying violations and their original point values remain on your record. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the course satisfies the state requirement but does not wipe the record clean. If clearing specific violations is your goal, that requires a separate legal process through the Belmont County court system. The certificate from this course handles the BMV or court requirement. It does not function as an expungement or point removal.
