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. Takes a few minutes to set up, and your progress saves automatically after every section so you never lose your place.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Score 75% or higher and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a digital PDF. The course requires 8 hours minimum to complete, as mandated by Ohio law.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes until you finish and submit the certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push you past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Get enrolled now and get this behind you.

Questions Johnstown Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio law. Drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit to create a cushion before hitting 12. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Drivers age 19 or older dealing with a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. And drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered students do not receive a 2-point credit. The certificate goes to the court, not the BMV. Licking County residents can confirm their specific requirement with the Licking County Clerk of Courts on East Main Street in Newark before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase points or remove 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, giving you a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Johnstown Deputy Registrar on South Main Street or directly to the Newark BMV on West Main Street to get the credit applied.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers on a suspension, the license stays suspended the entire time. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every day without the credit is a day a new ticket could push the record past 12 points. Mark your enrollment date the day you sign up. Johnstown is about 25 minutes from the Newark BMV, so plan to submit the certificate the same week you pass.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. No waiting for mail. No processing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Johnstown Deputy Registrar on South Main Street or to the Newark BMV on West Main Street, roughly 25 minutes from Johnstown on Route 62. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Licking County Clerk of Courts in Newark. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV applies the 2-point credit after it receives and processes the certificate. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records in case the BMV or court requests confirmation of completion.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. 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. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window becomes a serious concern at that point. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you sit for the final. Do not rush into the exam if you are not confident on the alcohol and drug content sections.

Does finishing the course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course provides for eligible drivers is a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two points and creates a buffer before you reach the 12-point suspension threshold. Existing violations stay on the record. The credit simply lowers the running total the BMV tracks. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the certificate satisfies the reinstatement or compliance requirement. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Newark BMV or Licking County Clerk of Courts depending on your situation.
