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. Hamilton County residents, including those served by the Lockland Deputy Registrar on Wyoming Avenue, go through the same state-required identity check before any lesson unlocks.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your required hours. Progress saves automatically after each section.

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, and you download BMV Form 5789 instantly. The course minimum is 8 hours of instruction time, not counting required breaks.

Your License Stays on Hold Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension through the Hamilton County BMV office on Northland Boulevard does not lift until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands with the BMV. A court order stays open the same way. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish could push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension. The 30-day completion window from enrollment is a hard state deadline. Start now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Lockland Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. The certificate you submit differs depending on your reason: BMV for point or suspension cases, the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts for court orders.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your Ohio record. Only a court can do that. What it does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, giving you a cushion before a future ticket pushes you to 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. After you pass the course, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Hamilton County BMV office on Northland Boulevard to get the credit applied.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets the 30-day completion window as a hard state requirement. Miss it and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For Lockland drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means your license stays suspended for the additional time it takes to restart and finish. The 30-day clock starts on your enrollment date, not the date you first log in to study. Log in and start the first lesson the same day you enroll so you are not burning days before you begin.

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

Pass the 40-question state final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for mail or a processing period. For a 2-point credit, take that certificate to the Hamilton County BMV office, located on Northland Boulevard roughly 10 minutes from Lockland, or submit it according to current Ohio BMV requirements for your specific case. For a court-ordered completion, file the certificate with the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the instant certificate is the same document the BMV and courts accept, so there is no secondary verification step that delays your filing.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, 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 the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day window continues running from your original enrollment date, not from the reset. Lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and you must pass each one to advance, so use those to make sure you actually know the material before you sit for the final. Do not rush into the exam.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court has the authority to remove points from an Ohio driving record. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two points and creates a buffer before a future ticket triggers a 12-point suspension. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a court order, the course satisfies the reinstatement or compliance requirement. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Hamilton County BMV after passing so the credit or reinstatement is processed promptly.
