Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, confirm you hold a valid Ohio license, and upload a government-issued photo ID. That verification step is required by current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. Washington County residents use the same enrollment process as anyone else in the state.

Work Through the Course

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and general traffic safety. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up later without losing ground.

Pass the Final 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 get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The total seat time is 8 hours minimum, with required 10-minute breaks built in after every two consecutive hours.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a court order, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is complete. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every day without that cushion is a day one ticket could push the total over 12 and trigger a suspension. The state also enforces a 30-day completion window from enrollment. Get enrolled now and protect your Washington County driving privileges.

Need to Check Your Current Ohio Point Total?

Washington County drivers can pull a certified driving record through the Ohio BMV before enrolling to confirm their exact point count.

Questions Devola 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 current ODPS guidelines. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years and received a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 must complete it before reinstatement. Courts can also order it directly, in which case no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older reinstating a juvenile suspension, and drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension, round out the five. If a Washington County court ordered your course, bring the completion certificate to the Washington County Clerk of Courts, not the BMV.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current total under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five uses. For a Devola driver sitting at 9 or 10 points, that cushion is the difference between keeping your license and losing it after one more moving violation. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Marietta BMV Deputy Registrar office to apply it.

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 of enrollment. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your completed lessons carry forward. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more time exposed to the risk of another ticket pushing the total over 12. The practical move for any Devola resident is to enroll only when you have a realistic plan to finish within the month. Progress saves automatically, so you can work across multiple sessions without losing ground.

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

Pass the final exam and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 certificate as a digital PDF immediately. No waiting period, no processing delay. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers applying for a 2-point credit submit it to the BMV. The nearest office serving Devola residents is the Marietta BMV Deputy Registrar, roughly 3 miles from Devola off State Route 60. Drivers completing a court-ordered requirement submit the certificate to the Washington County Clerk of Courts at the Washington County Courthouse in Marietta. Bring or mail the original PDF. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the credit after receiving the completed Form 5789.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, 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 lesson one, and the 30-day completion clock restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you hit the final. The driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug content show up heavily on the exam. Devola drivers who work through the quizzes carefully before attempting the final rarely need the second attempt.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe 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 drivers taking it voluntarily with 2 to 11 existing points, is apply a 2-point credit that reduces the active total. Think of it as a buffer, not a clean slate. The underlying violations stay on the record. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a court order, the course satisfies the reinstatement requirement but does not alter the point history. After submitting BMV Form 5789 to the Marietta BMV Deputy Registrar, request a driving abstract to confirm the credit posted correctly.
