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 the course begins. This step confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the requirement, which matters whether you are doing this for a court order, a 12-point suspension reinstatement, or a 2-point credit.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, risk perception, and a substantial alcohol and drug section. 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 and you need 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately get your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the BMV or your court and the requirement is closed.

Get Started Today

Your 30-Day Window Starts at Enrollment

Ohio gives you 30 days from the date you enroll to finish the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course. Miss that window and the state requires a reinstatement fee and a full restart from the beginning. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, every day the course sits unfinished is another day without driving privileges. For 2-point credit cases, the next ticket could push you past 12 points before the credit posts. Start now and close this out.

How Long This Actually Takes

The state sets an 8-hour minimum. Here is how the online format compares to coordinating an in-person session from Crestline.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Start the same day you enroll. Log in and out as your schedule allows across multiple sessions within the 30-day window.
In-Person Classroom Wait for an available session date, then drive to Bucyrus or Mansfield and sit through a fixed all-day or multi-day schedule.

What You Actually Pay

The online course has one price. In-person sessions often add travel costs and sometimes higher tuition for the same state certificate.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Course $76.00 flat. Certificate included. No extra fees for lesson retakes or the BMV Form 5789 PDF.
In-Person Classroom Tuition varies by provider, plus fuel and time for the drive from Crestline to a licensed classroom location.

Questions Crestline 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 a 2-point credit?

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 active points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points 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. The court-ordered group does not receive a 2-point credit. The credit only applies to voluntary enrollment or point-reduction cases. Check your suspension notice or court order to confirm which category applies to you, then enroll accordingly.

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 is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which creates a cushion before the next ticket pushes you to 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV posts it. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing the course and the credit posts to your record. Crestline residents can submit in person at the Crestline Deputy Registrar or mail it directly to the BMV in Columbus.

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

Ohio requires completion of the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already on a suspended license, that means more time without driving privileges while you restart and work through the full course again. The 30-day clock runs from your enrollment date regardless of how many days you actually logged in. Mark your calendar the day you enroll. Spreading the hours across several weeks is fine, but let the deadline sneak up and you are starting over and paying again.

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

Pass the final exam and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for processing or a mailed document. Download it the same day and submit it based on your situation. Drivers completing the course for a 2-point credit submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV, either through the online portal, by mail to Columbus, or in person at the Crestline Deputy Registrar on Main Street. Drivers completing a court-ordered requirement submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order - for most Crestline residents, that is the Crawford County Clerk of Courts in Bucyrus, about 14 miles south. Confirm the submission method with your court before you enroll so you know exactly where the certificate goes the day you finish.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, you get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from the beginning, which also means the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and do not count against you, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit the final. Rushing into the exam before you are ready is the main reason people end up restarting. Take the lesson quizzes seriously and treat the final as one shot per day.

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

No. 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 does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two. That credit creates a buffer before the next ticket triggers a 12-point suspension. The violations themselves stay on your record. Drivers completing the course under a court order or for a 12-point suspension reinstatement are not receiving a point credit at all - they are satisfying a requirement to restore driving privileges. Crestline drivers who want to confirm their current point total before or after submitting the certificate can request their official driving record through the Ohio BMV or at the Crestline Deputy Registrar.
