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. This identity verification step is required by current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. Macedonia residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver statewide.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. Your progress saves automatically on the server after every section, so you log out and pick back up without losing ground. 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 final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass, and the course requires 8 hours minimum of instruction time. Pass and you download BMV Form 5789 instantly. Take it to the Macedonia Deputy Registrar on Valley Parkway or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your record until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Summit County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish could push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to complete the course. That window does not pause.

Questions Macedonia Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers take this course under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring completion. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered drivers do not receive the 2-point credit. If you are in Summit County, the Clerk of Courts in Akron handles court-ordered filings for Macedonia residents.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit to your record under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That credit acts as a cushion, reducing your effective point total by two, but it does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can order point removal. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio law caps lifetime use at five times. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing, and the credit posts to your record. Macedonia drivers can hand-deliver the certificate to the Deputy Registrar on Valley Parkway to confirm receipt.

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 deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your prior progress does not carry forward. For drivers with a suspended license, that means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the window closing without completion leaves the record unprotected if another ticket arrives. The practical move is to pace yourself across the first two weeks so the final exam is not a last-minute scramble. Set a calendar reminder for day 20 so you have buffer time before the window closes.

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

Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay from the provider. You download it the same day you pass. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. Macedonia residents can take it to the Deputy Registrar on Valley Parkway in Macedonia, or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Summit County Clerk of Courts in Akron, roughly 12 miles from Macedonia. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is the only document the BMV or court needs from you to close out the requirement.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day, so a second try cannot happen the same day you fail the first. 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 completion window continues running from your original enrollment date, not from the reset. That makes the second attempt serious. Review the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material before retaking, since those two areas make up at least 50 percent of the curriculum by state requirement. Do not burn the second attempt the morning after the first failure.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs a minimum of 8 hours of instruction under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. At least 25 percent of that time covers driver attitude, meaning how decisions, habits, and mindset behind the wheel lead to violations and crashes. At least another 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and their effect on vehicle operation. The rest addresses traffic law, risk awareness, and collision factors. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your 8-hour total. Lessons use text and images with a quiz after each section. There is no live video streaming. You need a 75% on the final exam to complete the course.
