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. This identity verification step is required under current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. Jeffersonville residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio address.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and return without losing ground. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

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. Pass it and you immediately receive BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF. The course requires 8 hours minimum of actual instruction time, not counting required breaks.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order in Fayette County, the clock is already running. The Ohio BMV does not lift a suspension and a court does not close its requirement until the certificate lands in front of them. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on US-35 or SR-41 near Jeffersonville can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension that did not have to happen. The state also requires full course completion within 30 days of enrollment.

Questions Jeffersonville 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 categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and 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. Third, drivers ordered by a court 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 suspension. The key difference: a court-ordered completion does not generate a 2-point credit. The credit only applies to the voluntary point-reduction scenario. Jeffersonville residents can confirm their specific reason with the Fayette County Clerk of Courts or the Jeffersonville Deputy Registrar before enrolling.

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

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 apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays active for three years from the date the BMV processes it. You can earn it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. For a Jeffersonville driver sitting at 8 or 9 points, banking this credit before the next ticket on SR-41 or US-35 is the practical move. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Jeffersonville Deputy Registrar to get the credit applied.

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

Ohio requires full 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 restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means the license stays suspended longer. For court-ordered cases in Fayette County, an expired enrollment can create a compliance problem with the court. The practical fix is to set a hard deadline on your calendar the day you enroll and treat the 30-day mark as non-negotiable. Enrolling and finishing within the same week is the cleanest approach.

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

The certificate, BMV Form 5789, generates 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 it to the Ohio BMV. Jeffersonville residents can bring it to the Jeffersonville Deputy Registrar on US-35 or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus, which is roughly 45 miles northeast of Jeffersonville. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Fayette County Clerk of Courts, located at the Fayette County Courthouse in Washington Court House, about 12 miles southwest of Jeffersonville. Current Ohio BMV requirements specify that the credit is applied after the BMV receives and processes the certificate, so submit it promptly.

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 on the final, and you can only take one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get the certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from the beginning, which also resets your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes that appear throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Jeffersonville drivers who are close to their 30-day window should not wait until the last few days to attempt the exam.

Does finishing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course remove points from my record?

No. Completing the course does not remove points or wipe violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points from a record. What the course does, in the voluntary 2-point credit scenario, is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total. Think of it as a buffer, not a clean slate. A driver with 9 points who earns the credit drops to 7 points on paper, which creates more room before hitting the 12-point suspension threshold. For 12-point suspension reinstatements and court-ordered cases, the course satisfies the state requirement and allows the license reinstatement process to move forward. Confirm your current point total with the Jeffersonville Deputy Registrar or through the Ohio BMV online portal before enrolling.
