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 ODPS before any coursework begins. Auglaize County residents have used this same process to satisfy both court orders and voluntary 2-point credit enrollments.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Progress saves automatically after each section, so you can log out and come back without losing ground. A quiz follows every lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

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 you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and you download your BMV Form 5789 certificate immediately. The course requires 8 hours minimum of instruction time before the exam unlocks.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol-related offense, the clock is running. The BMV does not lift the suspension until the certificate hits their system. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 10 points can push you into suspension territory fast. Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start this week and get it behind you.

Questions New Bremen Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups 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 before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program - no 2-point credit applies in that case, the certificate goes to the court, not the BMV. Fourth, drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Auglaize County residents can submit the certificate to the Clerk of Courts in Wapakoneta or directly to the BMV depending on which situation applies.

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 create a cushion - under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the BMV applies a 2-point reduction to your current total, which can be the difference between staying under 12 points and triggering a suspension. The credit is valid for three years from the date of completion, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. For a New Bremen driver sitting at 9 or 10 points, banking that credit before the next ticket arrives is the practical move. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing.

What happens if I do not finish the course within the 30-day window?

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a firm 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning - your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, that also means your license stays suspended longer. For 2-point credit enrollments, you lose the enrollment and have to re-enroll and pay again. The practical fix is simple: log in consistently across the 30 days rather than leaving it all for the final week. New Bremen drivers who need to check their deadline can also contact the Auglaize County Clerk of Courts in Wapakoneta if a court order is involved.

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

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF immediately - not the next business day, right then. For a 2-point credit, submit that certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office to New Bremen is in Wapakoneta, roughly 15 miles south on State Route 66, or you can contact the New Bremen Deputy Registrar on South Washington Street for guidance on submission options. For a court-ordered case, the certificate goes to the court that issued the order - typically the Auglaize County Municipal Court or the Auglaize County Common Pleas Court in Wapakoneta. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes the 2-point credit after receiving the original Form 5789.

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 total, but only one attempt per calendar day - so if you fail on a Tuesday, your second attempt cannot happen until Wednesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from the first lesson, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to lock in the material before you sit for the final. Drivers who have already been through the alcohol and drug sections and the driver attitude material tend to do better on the exam because those two sections together make up at least half the state-required curriculum.

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. What the course does for eligible drivers - those with 2 to 11 points who are not under a court order - is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to reduce your current point total. That credit creates breathing room before the next ticket. Your existing violations and their original point values stay on the record. For New Bremen drivers who want to see exactly what is on their record before or after submitting the certificate, the New Bremen Deputy Registrar on South Washington Street can pull a driving record abstract, or you can request one directly through the Ohio BMV online portal.
