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. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can log out and pick back up later.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Finish 8 hours of instruction, pass the exam, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For 12-point suspension cases and court-ordered situations, nothing changes until you finish this course and submit the certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to complete the course before you owe a reinstatement fee and start over. Get this handled now.

Questions North Baltimore Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take this course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Ohio recognizes five situations under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points can take the course voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit. Drivers who hit 12 points within two years face a suspension and must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a case, and in that situation no 2-point credit applies. Two additional situations cover juvenile suspensions for drivers now 19 or older, and under-21 alcohol-related suspensions. If a Wood County court ordered you here, bring the certificate to the Clerk of Courts office in Bowling Green when you finish.

The 2-point credit sounds useful, but does it actually remove points from my record?

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a driving record. What the 2-point credit does under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 is apply a cushion. If your record sits at 8 points and you earn the credit, the BMV treats it as 6 points for suspension threshold purposes. That gap matters when the next ticket would otherwise push you over 12. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. After finishing the course, submit BMV Form 5789 to the North Baltimore Deputy Registrar or directly to the Bowling Green BMV to apply the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets the 30-day completion requirement. Miss that window 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 already dealing with a suspended license or an open court case, that delay extends the time your privileges stay on hold. The practical move is to enroll only when you have the next 30 days available to actually work through the material. Wood County drivers who are reinstating after a 12-point suspension especially cannot afford to restart. Set a calendar reminder the day you enroll.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to arrive in the mail. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The closest full-service BMV to North Baltimore is in Bowling Green, roughly 18 miles north on US-25, or you can submit through the North Baltimore Deputy Registrar depending on what they process. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate to the Wood County Clerk of Courts in Bowling Green. Check with your attorney or the court clerk on exact submission requirements. Current Ohio BMV requirements treat the digital PDF as the official document.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to two attempts, and you can only take one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until 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. Lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit the final. Drivers in Wood County who are on a court deadline especially need to leave enough time in their 30-day window to handle a second attempt if needed.

Is an in-person classroom still an option near North Baltimore, and why do most people here take it online?

In-person classroom options exist in Ohio but require finding an approved provider with an open session, blocking out a full day, and driving out of North Baltimore. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the online course meets the same state requirements as the classroom version. The online format through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the same curriculum, including the required driver attitude content and the alcohol and drug sections, and produces the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. For most Wood County residents, the math is simple: no drive to Bowling Green or beyond, no fixed schedule, and the same certificate at the end. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, both formats remain valid.
