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 start. This confirms you are the licensed driver completing the course, not someone sitting in for you. Takes a few minutes to set up, then you are in.

Work Through the Course Sections

Each lesson ends with a quiz you must pass before advancing. The state mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Log out and come back whenever you need to. Your progress saves automatically on the server after each section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The final is 40 state-provided multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and get two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and BMV Form 5789 downloads immediately as a PDF. Submit it to the BMV or your Greene County court the same day.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or the clerk's office. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you restart from zero and pay the reinstatement fee again. Get this handled now.

Questions Jamestown Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers a court ordered to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn the 2-point credit. If you are a Jamestown resident unsure which category applies, the Greene County Clerk of Courts on Lynne Avenue in Xenia can confirm your court status.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract two points from your current total, creating a cushion so the next ticket does not push you over 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is 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 Jamestown Deputy Registrar on US-35 or directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus after you pass the course to apply the credit to your record.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires you to complete the course within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that deadline and the state treats your enrollment as expired. You pay the reinstatement fee again and start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your completed lessons carry forward. For drivers with a suspended license, this also means your license stays suspended longer while you restart. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Mark the date on your calendar the moment you sign up. Jamestown drivers dealing with a Greene County court order face the same restart consequence, so finishing ahead of the deadline protects your court timeline too.

How fast do I get the certificate after passing the final exam?

The certificate generates immediately after you pass. BMV Form 5789 downloads as a digital PDF the moment the system records your passing score. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Jamestown Deputy Registrar on US-35 or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Greene County Clerk of Courts in Xenia, roughly 12 miles from Jamestown. Per current Ohio BMV requirements, the BMV processes the credit after receiving the form. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records before you submit the original, in case the court or BMV requests verification later.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first try and you come back the next day for the second. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one and the 30-day window restarts from that point. This is not a situation you want to land in when your license is already suspended or a court deadline is approaching. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use them to actually learn the material before you hit the final. Rushing through the lessons to get to the exam faster usually backfires.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or expunge violations. 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 apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two. Think of it as a buffer. If you are sitting at 9 points and you earn the credit, your effective total drops to 7, giving you more room before a suspension kicks in at 12. For suspension reinstatement and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the requirement so the BMV can restore your driving privileges. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Jamestown Deputy Registrar or the Greene County Clerk of Courts to complete the process.
