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. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before coursework begins. Takes about five minutes and you are in.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug effects on driving, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick back up without losing ground.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. Complete 8 hours of instruction first. Pass the exam and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a digital PDF. Submit it to the BMV for your point credit or to the Clinton County court for your court order.

Your License Status Does Not Wait

A suspended license stays suspended until this course is finished and the certificate hits the BMV or the court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish could push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to complete the course. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Questions New Vienna Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio adults qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered drivers do not receive a 2-point credit - that credit only applies to voluntary enrollment. New Vienna residents should confirm their specific reason before enrolling so the certificate goes to the right place.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record?

The 2-point credit creates a cushion on your record - it does not erase existing points or remove violations. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. What the credit does is reduce your active point total by two, which matters when you are sitting at 8 or 9 points and one more ticket could trigger a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. After passing the final exam, you get BMV Form 5789 and submit it to the Wilmington BMV, about 15 miles from New Vienna on US-68, or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and two things happen: you owe a reinstatement fee to the BMV, and you have to start the entire course over from the beginning - no credit for lessons already completed. For drivers on a suspension, that means the license stays suspended even longer. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the clock keeps running on your point total while you wait. The 30-day window is firm. New Vienna drivers who work irregular hours should map out their sessions before enrolling so the deadline does not sneak up. The course has no daily study cap, so finishing in a few focused sessions is entirely possible.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately - same session, no waiting for the mail. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, that certificate is what the BMV and courts accept as proof of completion. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The New Vienna Deputy Registrar in Clinton County can assist with BMV transactions locally. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Clinton County Clerk of Courts in Wilmington, roughly 15 miles from New Vienna. Keep a copy for your own records regardless of where you submit. The certificate carries the course name, your identity verification, and the ODPS-required completion data.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and requires a 75% to pass. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day - so if you fail on a Tuesday, your second attempt opens Wednesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. You start over from lesson one, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to lock in the material before you sit for the final. The driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug section each make up at least 25 percent of the curriculum - those two areas show up heavily on the exam, so do not skim them.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers - those with 2 to 11 points who enroll voluntarily - is apply a 2-point credit to the active point total. That credit reduces the number the BMV counts toward a suspension threshold. Existing violations stay on the record. The credit is a buffer, not a clean slate. Drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement do not receive the 2-point credit at all. New Vienna drivers with questions about their specific point total can contact the Clinton County Deputy Registrar or check their record through the Ohio BMV online portal.
