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 step satisfies the identity verification requirement set by the Ohio Department of Public Safety before any coursework begins.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, 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 and come back without losing ground.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. Complete the required 8 hours of instruction first. Pass the exam and you receive BMV Form 5789 instantly as a digital PDF - submit it to the Medina County Clerk of Courts or the BMV the same day.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an alcohol-related offense under 21, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands at the BMV. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 9 or 10 points can push you into suspension territory fast. Ohio also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you start over.

Questions Medina Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year window. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn the 2-point credit - that applies only to voluntary enrollment. Medina County residents can confirm their specific requirement with the Medina County Clerk of Courts on Northland Drive 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 any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is subtract 2 from your current point total, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Say you are sitting at 8 points after a couple of tickets on I-71 near Medina - the credit brings you to 6, giving you more room before suspension territory. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio allows a maximum of five credits in a lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the BMV after passing to apply it.

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

Ohio requires full completion of the Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the course entirely from the beginning - your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already in a suspension, that means more days without a valid license. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more exposure to another ticket tipping the record over 12 points. Mark your enrollment date on your calendar the day you sign up. The Medina Deputy Registrar office can confirm current reinstatement fee amounts if you need that figure before enrolling.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates instantly as a digital PDF - you do not wait for anything to arrive by mail. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV Deputy Registrar serving Medina residents is located in Medina on Lafayette Road, roughly 10 minutes from most parts of the city. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, typically the Medina County Municipal Court or the Medina County Court of Common Pleas on Northland Drive. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is accepted digitally or as a printed copy depending on the receiving office's preference.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Fail it and you get one more attempt, but not until the following calendar day - Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits attempts to one per calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the entire course resets. You start over from lesson one, which also eats into your 30-day completion window. This is not a situation you want to land in if you are already close to the deadline. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use them to actually learn the material before you sit for the final. Medina drivers who treat the quizzes seriously tend to clear the final on the first attempt without any drama.

Does finishing 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 a court order can expunge or reduce points on an Ohio driving record. What the course does for eligible drivers - those with 2 to 11 points who enroll voluntarily - is apply a 2-point credit, which lowers the active point total and creates a buffer before the next ticket triggers a suspension. The violations themselves stay on the record. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for reinstatement after a 12-point suspension, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not alter the underlying record. Confirm your specific situation with the Medina County Clerk of Courts before assuming any points disappear.
