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 start. Lodi residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. The whole setup takes a few minutes and your progress saves automatically after each section.

Work Through the Course

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and related Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio requires a 10-minute break 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. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly so you can submit it the same day.

Get Started Today

Your License Status Does Not Wait

A suspended license stays suspended until the course is finished and the certificate hits the BMV or the court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can trigger a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The 30-day completion window starts at enrollment. Getting this handled now protects your ability to drive to work, to Wadsworth, to wherever you need to be.

Questions Lodi Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Ohio recognizes five reasons to take the Adult Remedial Driving Course under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. You take it for a 2-point credit if your record sits between 2 and 11 points and you want a cushion before the next ticket. You take it to reinstate after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. A court can also order it directly, in which case no point credit applies. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI suspension also qualify. If a Medina County court ordered your course, bring the completion certificate to the Medina County Clerk of Courts on Northland Drive in Medina.

The 2-point credit sounds useful, but what does it actually do to my record?

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 apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a buffer before you hit the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Say your record sits at 9 points. The credit drops the effective count to 7, giving you room before the next ticket triggers a suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Medina County Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV to apply it.

What happens if I do not finish 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 window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee to the BMV and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For Lodi drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more days off the road and more money out of pocket. The Medina County Deputy Registrar office, which serves Lodi residents, cannot process your certificate if the course expired. Log back in before the deadline, finish the remaining lessons, and pass the final exam. Thirty days moves faster than it feels when you are busy.

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

The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF certificate. You download it immediately. No waiting for mail. No processing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Lodi residents can bring it to the Medina County Deputy Registrar or mail it to the Ohio BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the court that issued the order. Medina County Clerk of Courts handles cases for Lodi residents and is located on Northland Drive in Medina, roughly 20 minutes from Lodi. Confirm submission requirements with the court directly, as current Ohio BMV requirements and individual court procedures can differ.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under current Ohio BMV requirements tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts total, and only one attempt is allowed per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day clock matters again. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you hit the final. Do not rush into the exam if you are not ready.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course provides, for eligible drivers taking it voluntarily, is a 2-point credit applied to your current point total. That credit acts as a buffer, not a clean slate. The underlying violations stay on your record. For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or completing a court order, the certificate satisfies the state requirement to restore driving privileges, but the record reflects the history. Lodi drivers can verify their current point total by contacting the Ohio BMV or visiting the Medina County Deputy Registrar before enrolling.
