Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, choose the reason you are taking the course - 2-point credit, 12-point suspension reinstatement, court order, juvenile suspension, or under-21 OVI - and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. That verification step is required by the state before you can begin any instruction.

Work Through the Eight-Hour Curriculum

The course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, traffic law, and crash prevention through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between each section. Your progress saves automatically after every section. Log out, come back later, and pick up exactly where you stopped. No daily study cap exists, but Ohio requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your eight hours.

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 have 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 Hancock County BMV Deputy Registrar or your court the same day.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or clearing a court order, the suspension does not lift and the court requirement does not close until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands in the right hands. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

Need a Different Ohio Driver Course?

The Adult Remedial Driving Course covers points, suspensions, and court orders - but Ohio offers other approved programs for different situations.

Questions Hancock County Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Five groups qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06: drivers with 2 to 11 points seeking a 2-point credit, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, drivers with a court order to complete the remedial program, drivers 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC suspension. The practical difference is this: a court-ordered completion does not generate a 2-point credit. The court told you to take it, and finishing satisfies that order. The 2-point credit applies only when you enroll voluntarily with points already on your record. Hancock County drivers can confirm their specific reason with the Hancock County Clerk of Courts or the Findlay BMV Deputy Registrar before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit creates a cushion on your record - it does not erase existing points or remove any violation from your history. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course earns you a 2-point credit that offsets your current point total, giving you more room before hitting the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. So if you are sitting at 8 points and a ticket is possible, banking the credit now drops your effective total and keeps a suspension further away. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Hancock County Deputy Registrar to apply it.

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, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window 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 anyone in a suspension reinstatement situation, that also means your license stays suspended longer. For a court-ordered case, the court deadline does not pause because the course window expired. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Hancock County drivers with a court deadline should check their order date against the 30-day window and enroll early enough to finish both within the tighter of the two deadlines.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 downloads as a digital PDF immediately - no waiting, no mail delay. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers earning a 2-point credit or reinstating after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Hancock County Deputy Registrar office in Findlay handles BMV transactions for local residents and is the closest in-person option. Drivers completing the course under a court order submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, typically the Hancock County Municipal Court or Common Pleas Court depending on the charge. Confirm the exact submission address with your attorney or the court clerk before you submit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to two attempts, and you can only take one attempt per calendar day - so if you fail on a Tuesday, your second attempt cannot happen until Wednesday at the earliest. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and must be passed before you advance, so treat those seriously. They cover the same material the final tests. Hancock County drivers who reset should re-enroll promptly to protect any court or BMV deadline still on the calendar.

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. Only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit - a reduction in your effective point total that creates a buffer before you hit the 12-point suspension threshold. 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 and allows the BMV to process reinstatement, but the record of the original offense remains. Hancock County drivers with questions about their specific record can request a driving abstract from the Findlay BMV Deputy Registrar.
