Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver taking the course. This identity check is required by the Ohio Department of Public Safety before any instruction begins. Pickaway County residents use their Ohio driver license or state ID to complete this step.

Work Through the Course

Progress through text and image-based lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and related traffic safety content. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. The state requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the 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. Finish in 8 hours minimum. Pass, and your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion downloads immediately as a PDF. Submit it to the Pickaway County Clerk of Courts or the BMV the same week.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or the court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you a 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start the course completely over.

Questions Pickaway County Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers take this course. 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 a two-year period under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. 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 suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. As a next step, confirm which category applies to you before enrolling so you submit the certificate to the right place, either the Pickaway County Clerk of Courts on East Court Street in Circleville or the Ohio BMV.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove existing points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can order point removal. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit to your total. That credit acts as a cushion. If your record sits at 9 points and you earn the credit, the effective total drops to 7, giving you more room before a new ticket triggers a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years, can be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. As a next step, pull your current Ohio driving record through the Pickaway Deputy Registrar at 110 Island Road in Circleville to see your exact point total before enrolling.

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

The state sets a hard 30-day completion deadline from the date you enroll, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and two things happen. You pay a reinstatement fee to the course provider, and you start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your previously completed lessons or quiz scores carry forward. For drivers on a court deadline or a BMV reinstatement timeline, a missed 30-day window can push your court date or extend the period your license stays suspended. The practical move is to start the first lesson within a day or two of enrolling and spread the remaining hours across the first two weeks. Pickaway County drivers can track their deadline from the enrollment confirmation email and set a calendar reminder to finish at least five days early.

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

The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF. You download it immediately. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Pickaway Deputy Registrar at 110 Island Road in Circleville can process BMV submissions, or you can mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Pickaway County Clerk of Courts located on East Court Street in Circleville, roughly two miles from the Circleville town center. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the certificate is valid for submission as soon as it is issued, so same-week submission is entirely realistic.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass. 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. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The lesson quizzes that come before the final exam have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Pickaway drivers who treat the lesson quizzes seriously and review the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections tend to walk into the final with a lot more confidence than those who click through quickly.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Pickaway County, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do exist in Ohio, but none operate inside Pickaway County itself. Drivers from Circleville or Ashville would need to drive to Columbus or another approved location, which adds travel time on top of the 8-hour course requirement. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, both delivery formats satisfy the same state requirement and produce the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The online version through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers identical curriculum, including the required driver attitude block and the alcohol and drug section, and delivers the certificate the same day you finish. For most Pickaway County drivers juggling work schedules, the online format is the practical call. The nearest full-service Ohio BMV Deputy Registrar for in-person certificate submission is the Pickaway Deputy Registrar at 110 Island Road in Circleville.
