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 coursework begins. Champaign County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. Takes a few minutes to set up, then you move straight into the material.

Work Through the Course

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

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. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The course must be completed within 8 hours total instruction time across your sessions.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. For court-ordered cases, the Champaign County court requirement stays open until the certificate lands on file. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

Questions Champaign County 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 taking it for a point credit?

Five groups qualify under current Ohio BMV requirements. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before hitting 12. Drivers who already hit 12 points and received a suspension must complete it before reinstatement. Drivers under 21 suspended for an alcohol-related offense also need it for reinstatement. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension from before age 18 use it the same way. Court-ordered drivers complete it because a judge required it. The key difference: court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 governs the point system behind all five scenarios. Champaign County drivers submit the certificate to the Urbana BMV Deputy Registrar or the Champaign County Clerk of Courts depending on which situation applies.

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 remove points. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion between where you stand now and the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That cushion matters when one more ticket could push you over the line. The credit is valid for three years from the date it is applied, and you can only use it once every three years, with a lifetime maximum of five uses. After passing the course, you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Champaign County Deputy Registrar in Urbana to get the credit applied to your record.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. 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 already under a suspension, this means your license stays suspended longer and you add cost on top of the original requirement. For 2-point credit cases, the window closing means you lose the protection you were building before the next ticket hits. Champaign County drivers who enrolled and stalled should check their enrollment date immediately. The Urbana BMV Deputy Registrar office is located at 1512 N. Main St. and can confirm your current record status.

How fast do I get my 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 waiting period and no manual processing delay. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers completing the course for a 2-point credit or to reinstate after a 12-point or alcohol-related suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Champaign County Deputy Registrar is located in Urbana and handles BMV transactions for county residents. Drivers who received a court order submit the certificate directly to the Champaign County Clerk of Courts. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate must be submitted promptly to satisfy the requirement. Do not sit on it.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you get two attempts total, limited to one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. You start over from the beginning, and the 30-day completion window becomes a real concern at that point. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so use those to stay sharp on the material before you reach the final. Champaign County drivers who reset after two failed attempts should re-enroll promptly to protect their remaining time before the suspension or court deadline tightens further.

Does completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course remove points from my driving record?

No. Completing the course does not remove points or wipe violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points from a record. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your current point total by two points and creates a buffer before the 12-point suspension threshold. That credit stays active for three years. Violations and their original point values remain visible on your record regardless. For drivers completing the course under a court order, no credit applies at all. The certificate satisfies the court requirement. Champaign County drivers can verify their current point total through the Ohio BMV or by visiting the Deputy Registrar office in Urbana before or after submitting their certificate.
