Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course, which is a current Ohio BMV requirement. Clermont County residents use the same enrollment process as any Ohio driver. Takes only a few minutes to get through setup.

Work Through the Course Material

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug topics, and general traffic safety. 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 pick back up later without losing ground. No live video sessions to schedule around.

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 get two attempts, one per calendar day. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours per state mandate. Pass the exam and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads immediately as a PDF.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or fulfilling a court order, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Clermont County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish could push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment. Use that window now, not after the next traffic stop on US-52.

Questions New Richmond 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?

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 after a 12-point suspension. 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. The key difference: a court-ordered completion does not earn a 2-point credit. The court simply requires proof of completion. New Richmond residents should confirm their specific reason with the Clermont County Clerk of Courts or the Batavia BMV before enrolling.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record, and how often can I use it?

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, creating a cushion before the next ticket pushes you toward a 12-point suspension. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit is valid for three years from the date it is applied, you can only earn it once every three years, and you can use it a maximum of five times in your lifetime. So if you are sitting at 9 points and a ticket is coming, finishing the course before that ticket posts could keep you under 12. New Richmond drivers can confirm the credit posted by checking their record at the Batavia BMV, located roughly 10 miles north on SR-125.

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

The state requires you to complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course within 30 days of enrollment, per current ODPS guidelines under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and two things happen: you owe a reinstatement fee to the BMV, and you must restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers whose license is already suspended, that means more days off the road and more money out of pocket. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the delay leaves the record exposed longer. Enroll when you are ready to actually work through the material. New Richmond residents can submit questions about their specific deadline to the Clermont County Clerk of Courts at 270 Main Street in Batavia.

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

The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF. You can download and print it immediately. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. Where you send it depends on your reason for taking the course. Drivers earning a 2-point credit or reinstating after a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV for New Richmond residents is the Batavia Deputy Registrar, approximately 10 miles north via SR-125. Drivers completing the course under a court order submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, which for most New Richmond residents means the Clermont County Clerk of Courts in Batavia. Confirm the submission address with your specific court before you go.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day, per current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt and you must wait until the next calendar day to try again. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the exam. New Richmond drivers who reset the course and are worried about a court deadline should contact the Clermont County Clerk of Courts at 270 Main Street in Batavia to discuss whether additional time is available before their compliance date.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points through a court order. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two. Think of it as a buffer, not a clean slate. The underlying violations stay on the record. The credit simply lowers the running total so the next ticket is less likely to push you past 12 and trigger a suspension. Drivers completing the course under a court order or for a suspension reinstatement do not receive the 2-point credit at all. New Richmond drivers can verify their current point total at the Batavia BMV before and after the credit posts.
