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. Madison County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio county. The state requires identity verification before coursework begins, per current ODPS guidelines.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out on US Route 40 and pick back up later without losing ground.

Pass the Final Exam and Download Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The course takes a minimum of 8 hours to complete, with mandatory 10-minute breaks built in after every two consecutive hours.

Your Driving Privileges Stay at Risk Until This Is Done

A suspended license stays suspended until the BMV receives your certificate. A court order stays open until you submit proof of completion. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket near the London area or anywhere in Madison County could push your record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. The state also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Get this handled now.

Questions Madison County Drivers Actually Ask

Who has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and a 2-point credit?

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers qualify 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 a suspension hits. Drivers who hit 12 points and had their license suspended must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a case, and that completion carries no 2-point credit. Drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension and drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension round out the list. Your reason for enrolling determines what you submit and where. Madison County residents submit to the Deputy Registrar in London or directly to the BMV.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which creates a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes it, and you can use it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. For a Madison County driver sitting at 8 or 9 points, that cushion is the difference between keeping your license and losing it after one more stop on US Route 40. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Deputy Registrar in London to start the process.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under current ODPS guidelines tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the enrollment expires. You pay the enrollment fee again and start the course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers on a 12-point suspension or under a court order, an expired enrollment also means your license stays suspended and your court requirement stays open longer. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Madison County drivers who know their schedule is tight should start the first lesson the same day they enroll and plan sessions around the mandatory 10-minute breaks required after every two consecutive hours of instruction.

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

You get the BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. Print it or save it and you can submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit, take or mail the certificate to the Madison County Deputy Registrar located in London, Ohio, or submit directly to the Ohio BMV. For a court-ordered case, deliver it to the Madison County Clerk of Courts, also in London, or to whichever court issued the order. Confirm the exact submission method your court requires before you enroll, because some judges want the original and some accept a copy. The BMV processes point credits after it receives the Form 5789, per current Ohio BMV requirements.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts total, and the rules under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limit you to one attempt 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 immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes that come between sections have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit the final. Madison County drivers who take the lesson quizzes seriously rarely need the second attempt on the final. A 75% is required to pass.

Does completing the 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 total. That credit lowers the number the BMV is counting against you, which protects your license from a suspension triggered at 12 points. The violations and the original points from each ticket remain on your record. For drivers completing the course under a 12-point suspension or court order, the certificate satisfies the reinstatement or compliance requirement but does not alter the underlying record. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Madison County Deputy Registrar in London to apply the credit.
