Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you begin. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, not someone sitting in for you. Takes a few minutes to set up and then the course opens immediately.

Work Through the Lessons

Complete text and image-based lessons with a quiz after each section. You must pass each quiz to advance, with unlimited free retakes. Progress saves automatically after every section on the server side, so logging out and returning later picks up exactly where you left off. No daily study cap exists.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish in 8 hours minimum. Pass and you get BMV Form 5789 instantly as a digital PDF to submit to the BMV or your court the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol-related offense, the clock is not theoretical. The Highland County Deputy Registrar on North High Street in Hillsboro cannot process your reinstatement until the BMV sees that certificate. For 2-point credit cases, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket on US-50 or SR-73 can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. The 30-day completion window from enrollment is a hard state deadline.

Already Cleared? Protect Your Record Going Forward

Drivers with 2 to 11 points can bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket forces the issue.

Questions Hillsboro 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 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 under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered drivers do not receive the 2-point credit. The certificate goes to the court instead of the BMV. If you are unsure which category applies, the Highland County Clerk of Courts on Governor Trimble Place in Hillsboro can confirm your court requirement.

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 remove points. What the credit does is create a buffer. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the BMV applies a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which can be the difference between staying under 12 and triggering a suspension after your next ticket. The credit stays valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in your lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing the course. The Highland County Deputy Registrar on North High Street in Hillsboro can confirm receipt and processing.

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

The state-mandated 30-day completion window is a hard deadline under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss it and two things happen. First, you owe a reinstatement fee to the BMV before you can restart. Second, you start the course completely over from the beginning. No credit carries over from the incomplete attempt. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay extends the period your Highland County driving privileges are on hold. The Hillsboro Deputy Registrar on North High Street cannot process a reinstatement without the completed certificate. Enroll when you are ready to work through the material consistently, and track your progress against the 30-day window from day one.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as an instant digital PDF. You do not wait days for something to arrive in the mail. Download it the same day and submit it immediately. For 2-point credit cases and suspension reinstatements, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV Deputy Registrar serving Hillsboro residents is the Highland County Deputy Registrar on North High Street in Hillsboro, roughly a five-minute drive from the courthouse square. For court-ordered cases, submit the certificate directly to the Highland County Clerk of Courts on Governor Trimble Place. Confirm submission requirements with the court before you enroll, since some judges specify a deadline for receipt.

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, per current ODPS guidelines. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. This is not a situation you want to land in when a suspension reinstatement is waiting. Work through the lesson quizzes seriously before you sit the final. The quizzes have unlimited free retakes and cover the same material the final draws from. Use them. The Highland County Deputy Registrar cannot process anything until that certificate exists.

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 from a driving record. What the course does for eligible drivers is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to your current point total. Think of it as a cushion, not a clean slate. If you have 8 points and the BMV applies the 2-point credit, your effective total drops to 6 for the purpose of the suspension threshold. Existing violations still appear on your record. For Hillsboro drivers who need a certified copy of their driving record before or after submitting the certificate, the Highland County Deputy Registrar can assist with that request.
