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 coursework begins. Logan County residents can use a state ID issued through the De Graff Deputy Registrar or any valid Ohio driver license.

Work Through the Course Material

Progress through text and image-based lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and must be passed before advancing. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up without losing ground.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately receive BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A suspended license stays suspended until the Ohio BMV receives your certificate. A court order stays open until the court gets it. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket on US-33 or State Route 235 can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. Start now and get this behind you.

Questions De Graff 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 qualify under Ohio law. Drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point cushion on their record can take it voluntarily. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a traffic case, and that order carries no 2-point credit. Two additional groups qualify: drivers 19 or older reinstating after a juvenile suspension, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC suspension. Logan County residents can confirm their specific situation with the Logan County Clerk of Courts in Bellefontaine before enrolling.

Does finishing the course actually remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a driving record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. Existing points and violations stay on the record. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV receives BMV Form 5789, and a driver can use it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. For De Graff drivers already sitting at 8 or 9 points, that 2-point credit can be the difference between keeping a license and triggering a 12-point suspension on the next ticket. Submit your certificate to the Bellefontaine BMV office to activate the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a firm 30-day completion window from the date of enrollment. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. No partial credit carries forward. For drivers under a court order or reinstating a suspended license, that delay also means the license stays suspended and the court requirement stays open longer. De Graff residents who enrolled and then got busy with work or family need to log back in and check their deadline before it passes. The 30-day clock does not pause. Plan your sessions across the month so the final exam is done well before day 30.

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 mailing delay. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers seeking a 2-point credit submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest BMV branch serving De Graff residents is in Bellefontaine, roughly 14 miles north on US-33, or you can mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus. Drivers completing a court-ordered course submit the certificate to the court that issued the order, typically the Logan County Municipal Court or the Logan County Court of Common Pleas in Bellefontaine. Confirm the exact submission address with the court clerk before you send anything, per current BMV requirements.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and requires a 75% to pass. 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 Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires the entire course to reset. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and must be passed before advancing, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. De Graff drivers who treat the quizzes seriously tend to clear the final on the first attempt without much trouble.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near De Graff, and is the online course just as valid?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do exist in Ohio, but none operate in De Graff itself. The closest options would require a drive toward Bellefontaine or beyond, and classroom sessions run on fixed schedules that may not fit around a work week in Logan County. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, carries identical legal standing under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. The Ohio Department of Public Safety recognizes both formats. The certificate you receive, BMV Form 5789, is the same document regardless of format. For most De Graff residents, finishing the required hours from home and skipping the Bellefontaine drive is the practical choice.
