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 start. The whole enrollment takes a few minutes and your progress saves automatically after every section so nothing gets lost if you close the browser.

Work Through the Course Lessons

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug awareness, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to move forward. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The total course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law, and you submit that certificate to the BMV or your court the same week.

Your License Stays at Risk Until This Is Done

A suspended license in Wood County does not lift on its own. For 12-point suspension and court-ordered cases, your driving privileges stay frozen until the certificate hits the BMV or the court file. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on an already-loaded record can push you past 12 points and trigger a suspension. The state's 30-day completion window runs from the day you enroll, not the day you remember to log back in.

Questions Perrysburg 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 a 2-point credit?

Five groups qualify under current Ohio BMV requirements. 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 after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 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 earn a point credit. The 2-point credit only applies to voluntary enrollment. Perrysburg residents submit the completed BMV Form 5789 to the Wood County Clerk of Courts or the nearest BMV office in Bowling Green, roughly 15 miles south on I-75.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before you hit the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date of completion. Ohio law allows you to use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. If your record already sits at 9 points and you earn the credit, your effective total drops to 7, giving you more room before a suspension kicks in. Perrysburg drivers can confirm their current point total through the Ohio BMV online or at the Perrysburg Deputy Registrar on Louisiana Avenue.

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 the reinstatement fee again and restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers reinstating a 12-point suspension or satisfying a court order, an expired window also means your license stays suspended and your court requirement stays open longer. The 30-day clock does not pause for weekends, holidays, or personal circumstances. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and log consistent sessions rather than leaving it all to the final week. Perrysburg drivers with a court deadline should confirm that deadline with the Wood County Clerk of Courts before enrolling.

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

The certificate, BMV Form 5789, generates as an instant digital 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 Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The nearest full-service BMV office to Perrysburg is in Bowling Green, approximately 15 miles south on I-75, or you can submit through the Ohio BMV online portal per current Ohio BMV requirements. For a court-ordered case, deliver the certificate directly to the Wood County Clerk of Courts, located at the Wood County Courthouse on East Court Street in Bowling Green. Keep a copy for your own records regardless of which route applies to your situation.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs the exam structure and limits you to two attempts, one per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. 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. This is not a situation you want to land in when you are already close to a court deadline or a license suspension. The lesson quizzes throughout the course cover the same material the final exam draws from, so taking those seriously rather than clicking through them is the most practical way to avoid a reset. Perrysburg drivers with a tight court deadline should factor in the possibility of a second attempt when planning their schedule.

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 from a driving record. What the course provides for voluntary enrollees is a 2-point credit, which reduces your effective point total by two points and creates a buffer before you reach the 12-point suspension threshold. The underlying violations and their associated points remain on your record as reported. For drivers completing the course under a court order, no point credit applies at all. The certificate satisfies the court requirement, but the record stays as-is unless the court separately orders a reduction. Confirm your current point standing with the Perrysburg Deputy Registrar or the Ohio BMV before and after submitting your certificate.
