Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your ID

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you start. This keeps your completion record clean and tied to your actual Ohio license, which matters when you submit to the Piqua Deputy Registrar or the Miami County Clerk of Courts.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and general traffic safety. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Ohio 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. Pass it, and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly. The course takes a minimum of 8 hours to complete per state mandate.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For 12-point suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the court. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a Miami County road can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also sets a 30-day completion window from enrollment. Miss it and the state requires a reinstatement fee and a full restart from lesson one.

Questions Piqua 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?

Ohio recognizes five situations under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension must complete the course before the BMV restores the license. Drivers under a court order complete it because a judge required it, and no 2-point credit applies in that case. Drivers aged 19 or older with a juvenile suspension from before age 18 also qualify, as do drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. The fifth situation is voluntary: any licensed Ohio driver with 2 to 11 points can take the course to bank a 2-point credit as a cushion. If you are in Piqua and unsure which category applies, the Miami County Clerk of Courts or the Piqua Deputy Registrar can confirm your current record status before you enroll.

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

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your Ohio record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which creates a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over 12 and triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date of completion, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times. If your Miami County record currently sits at 9 points, for example, the credit brings the effective total to 7, giving you more room before a suspension kicks in. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV after passing to apply the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a 30-day completion window from the date of enrollment. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from lesson one. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers with a suspended license, that also means the suspension stays in place longer while you restart. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more time with the current point total sitting on your Miami County record. The practical move is to log in within the first few days and work through sections consistently rather than leaving it all to the final week. The 30-day clock does not pause once it starts.

How fast do I get the certificate after passing, and where do I submit it in Piqua?

BMV Form 5789 generates as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The closest full-service BMV Deputy Registrar for Piqua residents is the Piqua Deputy Registrar, located at 1453 E Ash Street in Piqua, roughly a five-minute drive from downtown. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Miami County Clerk of Courts, located at the Miami County Courthouse at 201 W Main Street in Troy, about 10 miles south of Piqua. Current Ohio BMV requirements accept the digital PDF, so you do not need to print it unless the court specifically requests a hard copy.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. 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. Lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you reach the final. The driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug content each make up at least 25 percent of the curriculum, and both show up on the exam. Treat the lesson quizzes seriously and the final is manageable.

Does completing the course remove points from my Ohio record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or violations from your Ohio driving record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers in the 2-to-11-point range is apply a 2-point credit, which lowers the effective point total and creates a buffer before a suspension threshold is reached. For 12-point suspension reinstatements and court-ordered completions, the course satisfies the requirement that allows the BMV to restore driving privileges or the court to close the requirement. The record itself, including the violations that generated the points, stays intact. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Piqua Deputy Registrar or the Ohio BMV to apply the credit or document completion.
