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 under current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. Tuscarawas County residents use their Ohio driver license or state ID.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The curriculum covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, traffic law, and crash prevention through text and image-based interactive lessons. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically server-side every time you complete a section, so you can log out and pick up exactly where you left off.

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 have two attempts, one per calendar day. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours as required by ODPS. Pass the exam and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF ready to submit.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or a court order, nothing changes until the certificate lands at the BMV or courthouse. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket without that cushion can push the record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The 30-day completion window from enrollment is a hard state deadline. Starting now keeps your options open.

Questions New Philadelphia 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 point credit?

Ohio recognizes five reasons to take this course 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 before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a mandatory suspension and must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a case, separate from the point system. Drivers reinstating after a juvenile suspension or an under-21 OVI suspension also qualify. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. If you are a Tuscarawas County resident unsure which category applies, the New Philadelphia Deputy Registrar office can confirm your current point total and suspension status before you enroll.

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 remove points. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, creating a cushion under the 12-point suspension threshold defined in Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. For example, a driver sitting at 8 points drops to 6 after the credit applies. That gap matters when the next ticket arrives. The credit stays valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio allows a maximum of five lifetime uses. Completing the course for a court order does not trigger the credit. After passing, submit your BMV Form 5789 certificate to the Tuscarawas County Deputy Registrar in New Philadelphia or directly to the Ohio BMV to apply the credit to your record.

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 the date of enrollment. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers on a suspension reinstatement track, that delay also extends the time your license stays suspended. For drivers chasing a 2-point credit, the window closing without completion means starting over and paying again. The practical move is to start the first few lessons within a day or two of enrolling so you have a realistic read on how much time you need. The New Philadelphia Deputy Registrar on Front Avenue SW can confirm your reinstatement requirements if you have questions about your specific case timeline.

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

The BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion generates as a downloadable PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV or bring it to the New Philadelphia Deputy Registrar, located on Front Avenue SW in New Philadelphia, which serves Tuscarawas County residents. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the Tuscarawas County Clerk of Courts, located at the county courthouse on East High Avenue in New Philadelphia, roughly a five-minute drive from most parts of town. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the digital PDF is an accepted format. Keep a copy for your own records after submission.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 allows two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. This is not a situation you want to land in close to your deadline, so take the exam seriously the first time. Review the lesson quizzes before starting the final. The quizzes cover the same material and have unlimited free retakes, so use them. Tuscarawas County drivers who reset the course and have reinstatement deadlines should contact the Tuscarawas County Clerk of Courts to confirm whether the reset affects their case timeline.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe any violation from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces the active point total used to calculate suspension risk. The violations themselves stay on your record. For drivers completing the course under a court order, there is no credit applied at all. The certificate satisfies the court requirement, but the underlying record stays as-is. If you are a New Philadelphia resident who wants to understand exactly what is on your record before enrolling, request a certified copy of your driving abstract from the Ohio BMV or visit the New Philadelphia Deputy Registrar on Front Avenue SW, which can pull your current point status.
