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. The state requires identity verification before you begin. Columbiana County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver statewide.

Work Through the Course

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs through text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. You must pass each quiz to advance, with unlimited free retakes. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The course must be completed within 30 days of enrollment, as required under current Ohio BMV requirements. Total course time is 8 hours minimum.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock on your driving privileges does not restart until the certificate hits the BMV. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket on State Route 344 or anywhere else in Columbiana County pushes the total past 12 and triggers a suspension. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and get this behind you.

Frequently Asked Questions from Leetonia and Columbiana County Drivers

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

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies to five situations under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06: drivers seeking a 2-point credit with 2 to 11 points on record, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers under a court order, drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. The court-ordered situation is distinct because no 2-point credit applies when a court mandates the course. The BMV-driven situations result in a credit or reinstatement eligibility. Columbiana County drivers should confirm which category applies before enrolling by checking with the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts or the Salem BMV office, located roughly 12 miles from Leetonia.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you past 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A driver sitting at 9 points drops to 7 after the credit, which is meaningful if you drive Route 30 or any Columbiana County road regularly. The credit is valid for three years from the date of course completion, you can only apply it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, those limits have not changed. Check your current point total through the Ohio BMV before enrolling.

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

The state mandates completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the course resets entirely. You pay the enrollment fee again, start from the beginning, and the 30-day clock restarts. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means the license stays suspended longer. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every extra day without the credit is exposure to another ticket tipping the record past 12 points. Columbiana County drivers who need to submit a certificate to the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts or the Salem BMV, about 12 miles from Leetonia, should build in a few days before the deadline to allow for submission. Do not wait until day 28 to finish.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. Download it, print it, or send it electronically the same day. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. The nearest BMV office serving Leetonia residents is in Salem, Ohio, roughly 12 miles away on State Route 62. For a court-ordered completion, submit it to the Columbiana County Clerk of Courts, located in Lisbon at the county courthouse. For an under-21 alcohol suspension reinstatement or a 12-point suspension reinstatement, the certificate goes to the BMV along with any required reinstatement fees. Confirm current Ohio BMV requirements for your specific situation before submitting, as processing steps vary by case type.

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. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the entire course resets under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you hit the final. The driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug content make up at least half the course by state requirement, and those topics show up heavily in the exam. Columbiana County drivers who reset the course also reset their submission timeline to the Salem BMV or Columbiana County court.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points from your record. Only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. What the course does, for eligible drivers with 2 to 11 points, is apply a 2-point credit that reduces the active point total by two. That credit creates breathing room before the next violation pushes the total to 12 and triggers a suspension. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on the record. For drivers completing the course under a court order, no credit applies at all. The certificate satisfies the court requirement, but the record reflects what it reflects. Leetonia drivers who want to understand their full record can request a copy through the Ohio BMV or stop by the Leetonia Deputy Registrar to ask about the process.
