Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you begin. Butler County residents have used a state ID or driver's license issued through the New Miami Deputy Registrar on State Route 127 to satisfy this step.

Complete the Course Lessons

Work 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. Log out and return anytime within 30 days. Your progress saves automatically on the server after each section.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a digital PDF. The whole course takes 8 hours minimum to complete per state mandate.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the clock matters too. One more ticket before you complete this course could push your record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also requires you to finish within 30 days of enrollment or you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions from New Miami Drivers

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

Five groups of licensed 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 causes a suspension. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete 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 generate a 2-point credit. For Butler County residents, the nearest BMV Deputy Registrar is in Hamilton, roughly 10 miles from New Miami on State Route 127.

Does completing the course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove existing points from your record. Only an Ohio court can order point removal. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your record. That credit acts as a cushion. If you currently sit at 8 points, the credit brings your effective total to 6, giving you more room before a future ticket triggers a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. Submit your completed BMV Form 5789 to the Butler County BMV Deputy Registrar in Hamilton to get the credit applied.

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

Ohio mandates completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your completed lessons carry forward. For drivers reinstating a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order, an expired enrollment also means your license stays suspended and the court requirement stays open. The practical move is to start the course as soon as you enroll and work through it in chunks across the first two weeks. That leaves buffer time if work or family gets in the way. New Miami drivers with a court order through Butler County Common Pleas should confirm the court's own deadline alongside the 30-day state window.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates your BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF and makes it available for immediate download. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, take that PDF to the Butler County BMV Deputy Registrar in Hamilton, about 10 miles from New Miami on State Route 127, or submit it per current Ohio BMV requirements for your specific case. For a court-ordered completion, deliver the certificate directly to the court that issued the order. Butler County Common Pleas Court is located in Hamilton at 130 High Street. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the certificate is the official proof of completion the BMV and courts accept.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio allows two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. There is no shortcut through the reset. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and do not count against you, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you sit for the final. Drivers under a court order from Butler County should factor potential reset time into their overall court deadline, not just the 30-day state window.

Is an in-person classroom still an option, and why do most New Miami drivers choose online?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course still exist at approved providers, but none operate in New Miami itself. Butler County drivers would need to travel to Hamilton or further to find a scheduled session. That means coordinating your schedule around a provider's fixed class dates, driving out, and sitting through the full state-mandated 8 hours in a group setting. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, a state-approved Ohio driver training school, meets the same Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements without the commute. You work through lessons on your own schedule, take the required 10-minute breaks after every two consecutive hours, and submit the same BMV Form 5789 certificate when you finish.
