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. Identity verification is required by the state before any coursework begins. Greenville residents should have their Darke County license or state ID ready to photograph and upload.

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. Progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out on Wayne Avenue and pick back up later without losing your place.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a passing score of 75%. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads immediately. The full course runs 8 hours minimum, with mandatory 10-minute breaks built in after every two hours.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Get started before the window closes or the next ticket arrives.

Get Started

Approved for Every Reason the BMV Recognizes

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers the 2-point credit, 12-point suspension reinstatement, court orders, juvenile suspensions for drivers now 19 or older, and under-21 alcohol-related suspensions. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, all five situations qualify. One course, one certificate, one submission to the Greenville Deputy Registrar or Darke County court.

Questions Greenville Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. 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 clearing 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 point credit - that applies only to voluntary enrollment. Greenville residents can confirm their specific situation with the Darke County Clerk of Courts or the Greenville Deputy Registrar before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract 2 from your current point total, creating a cushion before the next ticket can push you over 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays active for three years from the date the BMV applies it. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in your lifetime. So if you are sitting at 8 points in Darke County and a speeding ticket on U.S. Route 127 adds 2 more, having that credit already applied keeps you at 8 instead of 10. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Greenville Deputy Registrar to start the process.

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 the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning - none of your previous progress carries over. For drivers in a suspension situation, that also means more days without a valid license while you wait to restart and finish. The 30-day clock does not pause for work schedules, family obligations, or anything else. Greenville drivers who enroll and then get busy should treat the deadline like a court date. Log in, track your remaining lessons, and build in enough sessions to finish before day 30. The course does not have a daily hour cap, so you can push through more material on days when you have the time.

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

The certificate generates instantly. Pass the 40-question final and BMV Form 5789 downloads as a PDF right then - no waiting for mail, no processing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Greenville residents can take it to the Greenville Deputy Registrar at 1306 Wagner Avenue, or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, deliver it to the Darke County Clerk of Courts at the Darke County Courthouse on Broadway in Greenville. Confirm the submission method your court specified in the order before you drop it off. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV applies the credit after receiving and processing the certificate, so submit it promptly after you finish.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you get two attempts total, with one attempt allowed per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely - you start over from lesson one and the clock on your 30-day window keeps running. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs the exam structure and the reset requirement. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you hit the final. Greenville drivers who are close to their 30-day deadline when they attempt the final should account for the possibility of needing a second attempt the next calendar day before the window closes.

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 can order points removed. What the course does for voluntary enrollees is apply a 2-point credit to the current total, reducing the number the BMV counts toward a suspension threshold. The violations themselves stay on the record. For drivers completing the course under a court order, no credit applies at all - the completion satisfies the court requirement and that is the outcome. For suspension reinstatement cases, finishing the course and submitting BMV Form 5789 clears the reinstatement requirement, but the underlying points that caused the suspension remain on the record. The Greenville Deputy Registrar can pull your current point total if you need to confirm where you stand before enrolling.
