Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. Licking County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. Your progress saves automatically after each section so you never lose your place.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 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 Exam 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. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, your driving privileges stay restricted until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For 2-point credit cases, one more ticket on a record already carrying points can push you past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Getting this done this week protects what you have left.

Questions Heath 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 a 2-point credit?

Ohio recognizes five reasons to take this course under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06: earning a 2-point credit with 2 to 11 points on your record, reinstating after a 12-point suspension, satisfying a court order, clearing a juvenile suspension at age 19 or older, and reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. The difference matters practically. A court-ordered completion does not generate a 2-point credit. The court tells you to take it, you take it, and you submit the certificate to the Licking County Clerk of Courts or whichever court issued the order. The 2-point credit path is voluntary and goes to the BMV.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my record, and how often can I use it?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is create a cushion. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the BMV applies a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which can keep you below the 12-point suspension threshold if another ticket comes in. The credit is valid for three years, you can only earn it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. After passing, submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Heath Deputy Registrar on Hebron Road or directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus to apply the credit.

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

The Ohio Department of Public Safety requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state voids your progress. You pay the enrollment fee again, restart the course from the beginning, and for suspension or reinstatement cases, your license stays suspended the entire time. For 2-point credit cases, every day you delay is another day a new ticket could push you over 12 points and trigger a suspension. The nearest full-service Ohio BMV office to Heath is in Newark on West Main Street, roughly four miles away. Getting this done before that window closes protects your ability to drive.

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

You get your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Heath residents can hand-deliver it to the Heath Deputy Registrar on Hebron Road or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the court that issued the order, which for most Heath residents means the Licking County Clerk of Courts in Newark, about four miles from Heath on West Main Street. Keep a copy of the certificate for your own records regardless of which path applies to you.

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 allows 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 the first lesson, and your 30-day completion window does not reset with it, so the clock keeps running. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Rushing into the exam before you are ready costs real time.

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 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 current point total by two. That reduction can mean the difference between staying under 12 points and triggering a suspension when the next ticket arrives. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement so your license can be reinstated or your case closed. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Heath Deputy Registrar or the Licking County Clerk of Courts depending on your situation.
