Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, confirm you are an eligible licensed Ohio driver age 18 or older, and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. This step satisfies the state identity verification requirement before any coursework begins. Holland residents taking the course for a Lucas County court order or BMV reinstatement start here.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, decision-making, and an alcohol and drug section that takes up at least half the curriculum combined. A quiz follows each lesson. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up without losing ground inside your 30-day window.

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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish in 8 hours minimum. Pass, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF. Submit it to the Lucas County Clerk of Courts or the Toledo BMV Deputy Registrar the same day.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For 12-point suspension cases and court-ordered drivers in Lucas County, nothing changes until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is completed and the certificate is submitted. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment. Start now, finish inside that window, and get your driving privileges protected.

Questions Holland Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket triggers a suspension. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years take it to reinstate their license under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Courts can also order it directly, in which case no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older reinstating a juvenile suspension and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related offense round out the list. If a Lucas County court handed you the order, that paperwork tells you exactly which category you fall into. Enroll, finish, and submit the certificate to close the requirement.

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 violations. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a record. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, which matters when you are sitting at 8 or 9 points and one more ticket would push you past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio limits it to five times in a lifetime. Holland drivers who want to bank it before the next traffic stop on Airport Highway or Holloway Road should enroll now and submit BMV Form 5789 to the Toledo BMV Deputy Registrar after passing.

What happens if I do not finish within the 30-day window?

Ohio requires completion within 30 days of enrollment, per current ODPS guidelines governing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course. 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 whose license is already suspended, that means more time off the road while the Lucas County Clerk of Courts or the Ohio BMV waits on your certificate. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Set a realistic schedule when you sign up, log in consistently, and do not let the window close on you before you reach the final exam.

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

Pass the final exam and your BMV Form 5789 certificate generates as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. Download it and you are ready to act the same day. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. The closest option for Holland residents is the Toledo Deputy Registrar, roughly 15 miles from Holland on the west side of Lucas County. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Lucas County Clerk of Courts at the courthouse in downtown Toledo. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the certificate is the document the BMV and courts require to process your case. Get it submitted quickly so your record updates without unnecessary delay.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, per current Ohio BMV requirements. Fail the first attempt and you wait until the next calendar day to try again. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one and must complete the full curriculum again before another final exam becomes available. This is not a soft policy. It is built into the state-approved course structure under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Take the exam seriously the first time. Review the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections before you sit for it, since those two areas make up at least half the curriculum by state requirement.

Does completing the 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 voluntary enrollees is apply a 2-point credit, which lowers your active point total by two and creates a buffer before the next ticket could push you into suspension territory. For 12-point suspension cases, the course satisfies the reinstatement requirement so the BMV lifts the suspension after you submit BMV Form 5789. For court-ordered cases, it closes the court requirement. The distinction matters. The course handles the requirement and protects your driving privileges going forward. Submit your certificate to the Toledo BMV Deputy Registrar or the Lucas County Clerk of Courts to make it official.
