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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours as required by Ohio law.

Your License Stays on the Line Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, your driving privileges stay restricted until the certificate hits the BMV or the court file. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch.

How Long This Actually Takes

The state sets an 8-hour minimum. Here is how the online format compares to coordinating a classroom session near Canfield.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Start the same day you enroll, work in sessions that fit your schedule, no drive to a classroom location required.
In-Person Classroom Find an available session near Youngstown or Boardman, drive there, and wait for your certificate to be processed afterward.

What You Pay Compared to the Alternative

The course fee is fixed. The cost of a suspended license in Mahoning County adds up fast once you factor in reinstatement fees and lost driving time.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course at TrafficSchool.net $76.00 covers the full course, all quizzes, both final exam attempts, and your instant BMV Form 5789 certificate.
Driving on a Suspended License A conviction in Mahoning County adds fines, court costs, and a longer suspension period to an already complicated record.

Already Cleared Your Record? Keep It That Way

The 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 can be applied once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime.

Questions Canfield Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under 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 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 under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. For Canfield residents, the Mahoning County Clerk of Courts handles court-ordered case documentation. Confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

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 reduce your active point total by two, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays on your record for three years. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in a lifetime. For a Canfield driver sitting at 9 or 10 points, that two-point reduction can be the difference between keeping your license and facing a suspension. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Canfield Deputy Registrar or the nearest BMV office to apply the credit.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and your enrollment expires. You then owe a reinstatement fee and must restart the entire course from the beginning, including all lessons, quizzes, and the final exam. None of your previous progress carries over. For drivers on a court deadline or trying to reinstate a suspended license, an expired enrollment adds weeks to the process. Canfield residents should mark the 30-day deadline on day one and treat it as a hard cutoff. The Mahoning County Clerk of Courts does not grant extensions based on an expired online enrollment. Start early and pace the sections across the first three weeks.

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

The system generates your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. No waiting period, no processing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Canfield residents can use the Canfield Deputy Registrar location on Lisbon Street or drive to the Youngstown BMV office, roughly 15 miles north on Route 11. For court-ordered cases, deliver the certificate to the Mahoning County Clerk of Courts at 120 Market Street in Youngstown. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 specify that the credit applies once the BMV receives and processes the certificate. Submit it the same week you pass to avoid any gap in your reinstatement timeline.

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 total, limited to one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, retake every quiz, and sit through the full course again before another final exam attempt. That reset also eats into your 30-day completion window. Canfield drivers close to the deadline who fail twice will almost certainly need to re-enroll and pay again. Take the practice material seriously before sitting the exam the first time.

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. Only an Ohio court has the authority to expunge or reduce points on a driving record. What the course does, for drivers taking it for the 2-point credit reason, is apply a two-point reduction to your active point total under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That reduction acts as a buffer. Your underlying violations and their original point values remain on the record. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the course satisfies the reinstatement or compliance requirement but does not clean the record. Canfield residents who want points removed need to pursue that separately through Mahoning County Municipal Court or the appropriate Ohio court.
