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 the Ohio Department of Public Safety before any coursework begins. Stark County residents have used this same process to get started in under ten minutes.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

After completing 8 hours of instruction, you take a 40-question state-provided final exam. You need a 75% to pass. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF. Submit it to the Stark County Clerk of Courts or the BMV to close out your requirement.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is finished and the certificate is submitted. 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 state also gives you a 30-day window from enrollment to finish - miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Questions Massillon Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06: drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers under a court order, drivers 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension from before age 18, and drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension. A court-ordered completion satisfies the court requirement but does not generate a 2-point credit - that credit only applies when you take the course voluntarily with points already on your record. If you received a court order from the Stark County Municipal Court, submit the certificate there, not to the BMV. Check your paperwork to confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract two points from your current total, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. For example, if you are sitting at 8 points, the credit drops you to 6, giving you more room before a suspension triggers. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio law caps lifetime use at five times. After passing the course, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV - the Massillon Deputy Registrar on Erie Street can assist with that submission.

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

The Ohio Department of Public Safety requires completion of the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the state voids your progress. You pay the enrollment fee again and restart the course from the beginning - none of your previous lesson completions carry over. For drivers under a court order or reinstating a suspended license, that delay also means your license stays suspended and the court requirement stays open longer. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Mark the date. Stark County drivers dealing with a suspension through the Stark County Clerk of Courts at 110 Central Plaza South in Canton have even more reason to finish promptly.

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

You receive BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF certificate the moment you pass the final exam - there is no waiting period and nothing gets mailed to you. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers taking the course for a 2-point credit submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV; the Massillon Deputy Registrar on Erie Street North can process that submission in person. Drivers under a court order submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, such as the Stark County Municipal Court. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate must be submitted promptly to count toward your requirement - do not sit on it. Confirm submission requirements with your specific court if a judge ordered the course.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The final exam for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state. You need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 allows two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day - so if you fail on a Tuesday, you cannot try again until Wednesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you sit for the final. Stark County drivers who are close to their 30-day window when they fail the second attempt should re-enroll immediately to avoid losing more time.

Does completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course remove points from my record?

No. Completing the course does not remove points or wipe violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court has the authority to remove points from a record. What the course does - when taken voluntarily for the 2-point credit - is apply a two-point reduction to your current point total, acting as a buffer against hitting the 12-point suspension threshold. Your underlying violations and their associated points remain on your record for the standard retention period. The certificate you receive, BMV Form 5789, documents your completion and triggers the credit when submitted to the BMV. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order get reinstatement eligibility, not point removal. Confirm your current point total with the Ohio BMV or the Massillon Deputy Registrar before enrolling.
