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 coursework begins. Takes about five minutes. Once confirmed, you move straight into the first lesson with no waiting period.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson. Pass the quiz to advance. State rules require a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your required hours.

Pass the 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 certificate instantly. The course requires 8 hours minimum to complete under Ohio law.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your driving record until the certificate lands at the BMV or the court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push you straight into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Questions Dover Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio law. First, licensed drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket causes a problem. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 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 drivers do not receive a 2-point credit. As a next step, check your Tuscarawas County Clerk of Courts paperwork or your BMV record to confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your Ohio record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract 2 from your current point total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A driver sitting at 10 points drops to 8 after the credit posts. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Dover Deputy Registrar on Tuscarawas Avenue or directly to the Ohio BMV to get the credit applied to your record.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from your enrollment date. 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 with a suspended license, this also means more time off the road while you work through the course again. The practical move is to log in within the first day or two after enrolling and set a pace that gets you through the 8 required hours well before the deadline. Dover students with a court deadline should also confirm that the 30-day window clears before their court date.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. No waiting for a mailing, no processing delay. You can download and submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit, take the certificate to the Dover Deputy Registrar or mail it to the Ohio BMV. For a court-ordered case, deliver it to the Tuscarawas County Clerk of Courts at 101 East High Avenue in New Philadelphia, roughly 4 miles from downtown Dover. Confirm the submission method your court order specifies before you drop it off, since some judges require the original and some accept a copy per current Ohio BMV requirements.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, so the second try cannot happen until the following day. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you sit for the final. The driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug section together make up at least half the curriculum, and those topics show up heavily on the exam. Do not rush into the final.

Does finishing 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 a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by 2 and gives you more room before a future ticket triggers a 12-point suspension. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement and allows the BMV or court to move forward with restoring your driving privileges. Submit your BMV Form 5789 certificate to the Dover Deputy Registrar or the Tuscarawas County Clerk of Courts in New Philadelphia depending on your specific case type.
