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 state before any coursework begins. Mulberry residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio county.

Work Through the Course Material

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

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Score 75% or better within 8 hours of instruction and you receive BMV Form 5789 instantly as a digital PDF. Submit it to the Ohio BMV for a 2-point credit or to your Licking County court for a court-ordered case.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A 12-point suspension stays active until the Ohio BMV receives your certificate. A court order stays open until the clerk records your completion. Even for the 2-point credit, every week you wait is another ticket away from a suspension. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and the state requires a reinstatement fee and a full restart from lesson one.

Questions Mulberry 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 the 2-point credit?

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a mandatory suspension and must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order it as a condition of a case, in which case no point credit applies - the certificate goes to the clerk, not the BMV. Drivers 19 or older reinstating a juvenile suspension and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension also qualify. Check your BMV suspension notice or Licking County court order to confirm which category applies to you before enrolling.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your total. That credit acts as a cushion - if you are sitting at 8 points and you complete the course, the BMV applies a 2-point credit that brings your effective total to 6. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on your record. The credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and has a lifetime cap of five uses. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Newark BMV, about 12 miles from Mulberry, to trigger the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from your enrollment date. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from lesson one - your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers on a 12-point suspension or with an open court order, that also means your license stays suspended and the court requirement stays unresolved longer. The practical move is to start the course the same week you enroll and treat the 30-day mark as a real deadline. Mulberry drivers can log in from anywhere, so there is no reason to let the window slip.

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

The certificate - BMV Form 5789 - generates as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office to Mulberry is the Newark BMV on West Main Street in Newark, roughly 12 miles away. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Licking County Clerk of Courts at 75 East Main Street in Newark. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, both locations accept the digital PDF. Keep a copy for your own records regardless of which office you submit to.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely - you start over from lesson one and the 30-day window resets from that point. Lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and must be passed to advance, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. The passing score is 75%. Going in underprepared is the main reason people end up restarting.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Mulberry, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course are not regularly scheduled in or near Mulberry. Licking County does not have a standing classroom provider for this specific course, which means you would likely drive to the Columbus metro area, add 45 to 60 minutes of round-trip travel, and lock into a fixed date and time. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both delivery formats produce the same BMV Form 5789 certificate and carry the same state recognition. The online version through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the identical curriculum. For most Mulberry drivers, the classroom option adds cost and travel without adding anything to the outcome.
