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 you begin. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not someone doing it on your behalf. Brown County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver.

Work Through the Course Material

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your eight hours. Log out between sessions whenever needed. Your progress saves automatically on the server.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The total course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the Georgetown Deputy Registrar on East Grant Street or directly to the BMV to close out your requirement.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is running. The BMV does not lift the suspension until the certificate lands in their system. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on US-68 or State Route 125 could push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

Questions Georgetown Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take this 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 can take the course voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket triggers a suspension. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a mandatory suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and must complete the course to reinstate. Courts in Brown County and elsewhere can also order the course as a condition of a case, and in that situation no point credit applies. Drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol offense or a juvenile suspension also qualify. Check your BMV record or your court paperwork to confirm which category applies to you, then enroll at TrafficSchool.net.

The 2-point credit sounds useful, but does it actually remove points from my record?

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your driving record. The 2-point credit created by completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course works as a cushion, not an erasure. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit offsets your point total by two, so a driver sitting at 10 points effectively sits at 8 after the credit posts. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the credit posts after you submit BMV Form 5789 to the Georgetown Deputy Registrar on East Grant Street or directly to the Ohio BMV. Existing violations stay on your record.

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 you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers already under a suspension, that also means more time off the road. The practical move is to treat the 30-day mark as a firm deadline the moment you enroll. There is no daily study cap, so a driver in Georgetown can log in multiple times a day and push through sections quickly. Do not let the window close on you.

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

The certificate generates immediately. Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 downloads as a digital PDF right then, no waiting period. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV or drop it off at the Georgetown Deputy Registrar located on East Grant Street in Georgetown, which is the Brown County deputy registrar office. For a court-ordered case, deliver it to the Brown County Clerk of Courts at the Brown County Courthouse on Main Street in Georgetown. The Clerk of Courts is roughly a five-minute walk from the Deputy Registrar. Current Ohio BMV requirements state the certificate must reach the BMV before the credit posts to your record.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the 40-question state-provided final exam, but Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to 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 window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you hit the final. Rushing into the exam without reviewing the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material is the most common reason drivers end up restarting.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Georgetown, and is it worth the trip?

In-person classroom providers exist in Ohio, but none operate in Georgetown itself. Brown County drivers would need to travel outside the county to attend a scheduled session, which means fuel costs on top of tuition, fixed dates that may conflict with work, and then waiting for a mailed certificate before you can submit anything to the BMV or the Brown County Clerk of Courts. The online Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets the same ODPS requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 and produces the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. For most Georgetown drivers, the math on time and cost makes the online option the practical choice.
