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 any coursework counts. Takes a few minutes to set up, and then the course is ready to start whenever you are that same day.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. 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 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The full course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law, and your certificate is ready the same session you finish.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order, the clock is already running. 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. Ohio also requires course completion within 30 days of enrollment or you pay a reinstatement fee and start over. Getting this handled now protects your ability to drive SR 28 to work every morning.

Get Started

Questions Leesburg Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and a 2-point credit?

Five groups qualify under Ohio law. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take the course voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before a ticket pushes them into suspension territory. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a mandatory suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and must complete the course to reinstate. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a case, and no point credit applies in that situation. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension and drivers under 21 reinstating after an OVI or OVUAC offense round out the list. If a Highland County court ordered your course, bring the completion certificate directly to that court, not the BMV.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current total under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which creates a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. So if you are sitting at 8 points right now and a speed camera on US 62 near Hillsboro adds 2 more, that credit kept you at 8 instead of 10. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing to apply the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the course entirely from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already under a suspension, that means your license stays suspended longer and you absorb an additional cost. The practical move is to start the first section the day you enroll and keep a steady pace across the 30 days. The course system tracks your enrollment date, so you always know how much time remains. Leesburg residents with a court deadline should confirm the court's due date against the 30-day window and use whichever is earlier.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 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 the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office to Leesburg is in Hillsboro on North High Street, roughly 12 miles from downtown Leesburg. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the court that issued the order, which for most Leesburg residents means the Highland County Court of Common Pleas or the Leesburg Mayor's Court depending on the charge. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the point credit after receiving the original Form 5789. Keep a copy for your own records before you submit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day, so if you fail on a Tuesday you cannot try again until Wednesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day clock continues running from your original enrollment date, not from the reset. That combination can put you in a tight spot if you are already close to the deadline. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you sit the final. Rushing through the lessons to get to the exam faster usually backfires on the second attempt.

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. Only an Ohio court has the authority to expunge or reduce points on a driving record. What the course does, for drivers enrolling for the voluntary 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point reduction to your running total. That reduction acts as a buffer, not a clean slate. Every ticket and conviction that put points on your record stays in the system. If you are a Leesburg driver sitting at 9 points and you complete the course, you move to 7, but the underlying violations are still there. For suspension reinstatement cases, the course satisfies the reinstatement requirement but does not alter the point history that caused the suspension.
