Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you begin. Licking County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio licensed driver, and the state confirmation comes back quickly so you can start the same day.

Work Through the Course

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and general traffic safety, with a quiz after each section. Progress saves automatically on the server after every section, so logging out between sessions on a weeknight or a Sunday does not cost you any completed work.

Pass the Final 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, and you download BMV Form 5789 instantly. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours as required by Ohio law, and every minute counts toward your 30-day window.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A suspended license stays suspended until the Ohio BMV receives your certificate. A court order stays open until the Licking County Clerk of Courts gets confirmation. 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 30-day completion window starts at enrollment, not at your convenience.

Questions Licking County 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?

Ohio recognizes five situations under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take the course voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a mandatory suspension and must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course directly, in which case no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension and drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related offense round out the five categories. Check your Licking County Clerk of Courts paperwork or your BMV notice to confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a driving record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. Existing points and violations stay on the record. The credit reduces the running total by two points, so a driver sitting at 9 points drops to 7 after the credit posts. That gap matters when the next ticket arrives. The credit is valid for three years, can be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the nearest BMV office serving Licking County to get the credit posted.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the state treats the enrollment as expired. You pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course from the beginning, including the final exam. For drivers on a court order, an expired enrollment can also mean a compliance issue with the Licking County court that issued the order. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the first time you log in to study. Licking County drivers with a suspension already in effect are driving without a valid license every day the course sits unfinished, so starting promptly and pacing through the 8-hour minimum without delay is the practical move.

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 an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. No waiting period, no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. The nearest BMV Deputy Registrar serving Licking County residents is located in Newark, Ohio. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Licking County Clerk of Courts at 75 East Main Street in Newark. Current Ohio BMV requirements allow electronic or in-person submission depending on your case type. Confirm the preferred submission method with the Licking County Clerk of Courts or your attorney before you submit, especially if a hearing date is involved.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current ODPS guidelines tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts total, limited to one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, retake all quizzes, and sit through the full 8-hour minimum again before another final exam attempt. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and must be passed to advance, so use those to lock in the material before you reach the final. Licking County drivers with a 30-day window already running cannot afford to burn both attempts carelessly.

Is an in-person classroom option still available near Licking, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions do exist in Ohio but approved sites are not located in Licking County itself. The closest options typically require a drive to Columbus, roughly 35 miles from Newark on Route 16. That means fuel, parking, and blocking out an entire day on a fixed provider schedule. The online Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a state-approved Ohio driver training school, covers the identical curriculum required under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. The certificate the BMV and Licking County courts accept is the same BMV Form 5789 either way. For most working adults in Licking County, the online format is the practical choice given the travel involved in the classroom alternative.
