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. Reminderville residents are Summit County license holders, so your Ohio driver license works perfectly for this step. Takes a few minutes to confirm and you are in.

Work Through the Course

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and traffic safety content required by ODPS. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to move forward. Ohio mandates 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 you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF. The course runs 8 hours minimum per Ohio state mandate.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an alcohol-related under-21 offense, the clock is running. The suspension does not lift and the court requirement does not close until the certificate lands where it needs to go. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket without that cushion can push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Get enrolled and get this behind you.

Questions Reminderville Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record 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 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 OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. The practical next step for Reminderville residents is to confirm which category applies 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 does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is create a cushion. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the BMV applies a 2-point reduction to your current point total, which lowers the number on file and gives you more room before a future ticket triggers a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. For a Reminderville driver sitting at 8 or 9 points, that 2-point buffer can be the difference between keeping a license and losing it after the next stop. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the nearest BMV office, which for Summit County residents is the Akron BMV location roughly 15 miles from Reminderville.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. 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 whose license is already suspended, that means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more exposure to a suspension-triggering ticket while the record stays unprotected. The 30-day clock starts the day you enroll, not the day you first log in to study. Reminderville drivers who enroll and then wait a week before starting are already burning through that window. Log in and get the first sections done the same 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 you get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF immediately. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Summit County residents can go to the Akron BMV Deputy Registrar location or use the Reminderville Deputy Registrar on Aurora Road for certain transactions, though BMV branch availability for point credit submissions should be confirmed with the branch directly before visiting. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the court that issued the order, which for Summit County matters is typically the Summit County Clerk of Courts. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 govern how the certificate gets processed once it arrives.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get the certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires the course to reset entirely. You start over from the first lesson, and the 30-day completion window becomes a real concern at that point because you have already burned days. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you sit for the final. Reminderville drivers who treat the quizzes seriously tend to walk into the final in much better shape than those who click through them.

Does completing the 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 a court order can remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is generate a 2-point credit, which the BMV applies as a reduction to your current point total. Think of it as lowering the number the BMV is watching, not cleaning the history. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on the record. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for a suspension reinstatement, the certificate satisfies the requirement and allows the reinstatement process to move forward. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the appropriate office as soon as you pass, and keep a copy for your own records.
