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. This step confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not someone doing it on your behalf.

Work Through the Course Material

The course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, 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 total hours.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 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 course requires 8 hours minimum of instruction time before the final unlocks.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Summit County 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 it receives your certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on Massillon Road or anywhere else in Green could push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

Questions Green Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers with a court order requiring 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 2-point credit. The other four situations may qualify for the credit depending on your specific record. Summit County drivers should confirm their reason with the Green Deputy Registrar or the Summit County Clerk of Courts 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 violations from your Ohio record. Only a court can do that. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit reduces your active point total by two, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you to 12 and triggers a suspension. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in a lifetime. For a Green driver sitting at 8 or 9 points, that two-point buffer is the difference between keeping your license and losing it after one more stop on South Arlington Road. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the BMV after passing to activate the credit.

What happens if I do not finish within the 30-day window?

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 Summit County drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road and additional costs. The 30-day clock does not pause for weekends or holidays. Log in consistently across the month rather than waiting until the final week. The Green Deputy Registrar at 1000 Massillon Road, Uniontown, serves this area and can answer BMV-side questions about your specific reinstatement timeline if you are unsure where you stand.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates immediately as a downloadable digital PDF. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office serving Green is the Akron BMV Deputy Registrar, roughly 10 to 12 miles north on Route 241 or via I-277. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Summit County Clerk of Courts, located at 209 South High Street in Akron, about 12 miles from Green. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the credit after receiving the certificate. Do not wait weeks to submit it. Get it in the same day you pass.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam has 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 both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one and must complete the full instruction time again before the final unlocks. This is not a minor setback when you are inside a 30-day window with a suspended license. Take the lesson quizzes seriously before you sit for the final. The quizzes have unlimited free retakes and cover the same material. Use them. The final exam requires a 75% to pass.

Does finishing this 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 has the authority to remove points. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit to your active total, which lowers the number the BMV counts toward a suspension threshold. Think of it as a buffer, not a clean slate. If you have 7 points and earn the credit, the BMV treats your total as 5 for the next three years. The underlying violations and their original point values remain on your record. For Green drivers who want points actually removed, that requires a separate legal process through Summit County Municipal Court or the appropriate court of jurisdiction.
