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 begin. Clermont County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. The state mandates this step under current ODPS guidelines to confirm you are the licensed driver completing the course.

Work Through the Course Material

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

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a PDF. Take it to the Clermont Deputy Registrar or submit it directly to your court.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol-related offense, the clock is running. The BMV does not lift the suspension until the certificate lands in their system. For 2-point credit cases, every week without that credit is a week where one more ticket on SR-32 or US-50 could push the record over 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you restart from zero.

Questions Clermont Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Ohio recognizes five reasons to take the Adult Remedial Driving Course under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Two of them come from outside pressure: a court orders you to complete the program, or the BMV suspends your license for hitting 12 points in a two-year period. The other reasons are proactive: you have 2 to 11 points and want a 2-point credit before the next ticket tips you over, you are 19 or older reinstating after a juvenile suspension, or you are reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related offense. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. The certificate still goes to the Clermont County Clerk of Courts to close the case. Enroll at TrafficSchool.net and confirm your reason before you start.

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 under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 is subtract two points from your current total, creating a cushion between where you sit now and the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension. That cushion matters if you drive US-50 or SR-32 regularly and know another ticket is possible. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it, you can only earn it once every three years, and you can use it a maximum of five times in your lifetime. Submit your BMV Form 5789 certificate to the Clermont Deputy Registrar on Eastgate Square Drive to get the credit applied.

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 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 already under a suspension, that means more time with a suspended license. For 2-point credit cases, it means more time exposed to a potential suspension-triggering ticket. The practical move is to start the first section within a day or two of enrolling and work through it steadily. The Clermont Deputy Registrar on Eastgate Square Drive cannot accept a certificate from an expired enrollment. Restart fees and lost time are avoidable if you treat the 30-day window seriously from day one.

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 as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, that certificate is the official document the BMV and Ohio courts accept. For a 2-point credit, take or submit the certificate to the Clermont Deputy Registrar located on Eastgate Square Drive in Union Township, or to the nearest full-service Ohio BMV office, which for most Clermont County residents is the Batavia location roughly 10 miles from the center of the county. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Clermont County Clerk of Courts at 270 Main Street in Batavia. Do not sit on the certificate. Get it submitted the same week you earn it so the credit or case closure processes without delay.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from the beginning, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 does not allow partial credit for completed sections after a full reset. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you hit the final. Drivers who treat the quizzes as checkpoints rather than obstacles tend to clear the final on the first attempt. Take the material seriously and the exam is manageable.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or expunge any violation from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points through a court order. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to the current point total, reducing the number that counts toward the 12-point suspension threshold. Think of it as a buffer, not a clean slate. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on the record. For drivers completing the course under a court order or to reinstate after a suspension, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not alter the record retroactively. If you have questions about your specific point total, contact the Clermont Deputy Registrar or check your record through the Ohio BMV before enrolling.
