Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before you begin. Knox County residents can use an Ohio driver license or state ID issued through the Danville Deputy Registrar on South Market Street.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. Progress saves automatically server-side after every section, so you can log out and come back. 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 a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The course runs 8 hours minimum as required by ODPS.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Knox County drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a court order, the clock is already running. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course over from scratch. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week you wait is another week a new ticket could push your record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Get this handled now.

Questions Knox County Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them over the limit. 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 point credit. For Knox County residents, the Knox County Court of Common Pleas in Mount Vernon handles court-ordered cases, about 12 miles from Danville.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my record?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, giving you 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 processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. After passing, submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Danville Deputy Registrar on South Market Street or directly to the BMV in Mount Vernon to apply the credit.

What happens if I do not finish 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 two things happen: you owe a reinstatement fee to the BMV, and you have to start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your completed lessons or quiz scores carry over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, the suspension stays active the entire time you are waiting to restart. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every extra day is another day a new ticket could push the record past 12. Knox County drivers should enroll only when they have a realistic 30-day stretch to finish. Log in consistently and do not let the deadline sneak up.

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

The certificate generates instantly as a digital PDF, BMV Form 5789, the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Knox County residents can bring it to the Danville Deputy Registrar on South Market Street or to the Knox County BMV Deputy Registrar office in Mount Vernon, roughly 12 miles from Danville. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the court that issued the order, typically the Knox County Court of Common Pleas. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the point credit after receiving the certificate. Keep a digital copy for your own records.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day under current Ohio BMV requirements tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. 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, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit the final. Knox County drivers who have reset once have still finished within the new 30-day window by staying consistent.

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

Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations from your record. That distinction matters. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has authority to remove points from a driving record. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, reducing your active point total by two. If you are sitting at 9 points, the credit brings you to 7. The underlying violations stay on the record. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the course satisfies the reinstatement requirement but does not wipe the history. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Danville Deputy Registrar or Knox County BMV office in Mount Vernon after passing to get the credit applied.
