Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. Carroll County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. The state requires identity verification before coursework begins, per current ODPS guidelines.

Work Through the Course

The curriculum runs through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Log out whenever you need to. Progress saves automatically on the server after each section.

Pass the Exam and Submit 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 in 8 hours minimum. Pass, and you get BMV Form 5789 instantly. Take it to the Carroll County Deputy Registrar on Kensington Road in Carrollton or submit it directly to your court.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. 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 exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. That window does not extend.

What Does Each Option Cost Carroll County Drivers?

The course fee is only part of the picture when you add fuel, time off work, and the cost of a suspended license.

Carroll County Drivers Ask These Questions First

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension must complete it before the BMV restores the license. Drivers with a court order complete it because a judge required it, and no 2-point credit applies in that situation. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit as a cushion. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI suspension also qualify. Carroll County residents in any of these situations enroll the same way. Check your suspension notice or court paperwork to confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my driving record, and how often can I use it?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What it does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which creates a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in your lifetime. After you pass, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Carroll County Deputy Registrar on Kensington Road in Carrollton or directly to the Ohio BMV to get the credit applied.

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

Ohio requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under current ODPS guidelines tied to 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 forward. For drivers with a suspended license, that also means the suspension continues until you complete a fresh enrollment and submit the certificate. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Carroll County drivers dealing with a court deadline or a BMV reinstatement date need to account for that window before picking an enrollment date.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no processing delay and nothing mailed to you. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Carroll County residents can hand-deliver it to the Carroll County Deputy Registrar located on Kensington Road in Carrollton, or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV main office. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the court that issued the order. Check your court paperwork for the specific filing address. The Carrollton Municipal Court or Carroll County Court of Common Pleas handles most local cases. Confirm the submission method with your court before the deadline.

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 current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until 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, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. There is no partial credit carried forward. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Do not rush into the exam.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Only an Ohio court has the authority to expunge or reduce points under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to the current point total, which lowers the number sitting on the record and creates a buffer before the next ticket could trigger a 12-point suspension. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement so the BMV can restore the license or the court can close the case. Carroll County drivers should pull their current BMV record before enrolling to confirm their exact point total and which situation applies.
