Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity verification step is required under current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. Guernsey County residents use their Ohio driver license or state ID.

Work Through the Course

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can log out and come back without losing ground. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF. Submit it to the Guernsey County Clerk of Courts or the Cambridge BMV Deputy Registrar the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock does not stop. The Guernsey Deputy Registrar on Southgate Parkway in Cambridge cannot process your reinstatement until the certificate lands on their desk. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on US 40 or I-70 near Cambridge could push your record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Guernsey Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take this course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Five groups of Ohio drivers 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 ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. The key difference: a court order means a judge mandated the course and no 2-point credit applies. The 2-point credit is a voluntary choice for drivers managing their point total. Guernsey County residents should confirm their specific reason with the Guernsey County Clerk of Courts on Wheeling Avenue in Cambridge 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 any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is create a 2-point cushion, reducing your effective point total for suspension threshold purposes under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. So if you are sitting at 8 points and you earn the credit, your effective total drops to 6, giving you more room before hitting the 12-point suspension threshold. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. Guernsey drivers who pick up a ticket on US 40 near Cambridge should bank this credit before the next violation lands.

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

Ohio requires completion of the Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road and more money out of pocket. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the moment you start your first lesson. Guernsey County drivers who are reinstating through the Cambridge BMV Deputy Registrar on Southgate Parkway should enroll only when they have enough time in the next month to finish completely.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing, and where do I send it?

Your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for mail or a processing period. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Guernsey County residents can take it directly to the Guernsey Deputy Registrar on Southgate Parkway in Cambridge, which is the closest BMV-authorized location for most county residents. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Guernsey County Clerk of Courts on Wheeling Avenue in Cambridge. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the only document the BMV or court needs to process your completion.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you get two attempts total, one per calendar day, under current Ohio BMV requirements. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the next calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one and must complete all required instruction hours again before another final exam attempt is available. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you hit the final. Guernsey drivers on a tight 30-day window should not burn both exam attempts in the first two days of the month.

Does finishing this course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase 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 eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your effective point total for suspension threshold purposes. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on your record. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not alter the point history. Guernsey County drivers who want to challenge specific violations on their record need to address that separately through the Guernsey County Municipal Court or the appropriate Ohio court.
