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. Reynoldsburg residents use the same enrollment process whether they are banking a 2-point credit, reinstating after a 12-point suspension, or fulfilling a Franklin County court order.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out on Broad Street and pick back up later without losing your place.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course meets the 8 hours state-mandated minimum, and your certificate is ready to submit to the BMV or Franklin County Clerk of Courts.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Franklin County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on SR-256 or I-70 near Reynoldsburg could push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state also enforces a hard 30-day completion window from enrollment. Starting now keeps your options open.

Reynoldsburg Drivers Ask These Questions First

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want 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 within two years 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. Each situation has a different submission destination. Point-credit and suspension cases go to the Ohio BMV. Court-ordered cases go to the Franklin County Clerk of Courts or the ordering court. Confirm your specific reason before enrolling.

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

No. The course does not erase existing points or violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit that acts as a cushion against future accumulation. So if you currently sit at 8 points and earn the credit, the BMV treats your effective total as 6 points for suspension-threshold purposes. That credit stays active for three years, and you can use it once every three years with a lifetime maximum of five times. The credit does not rewrite history. It creates room before the 12-point suspension threshold triggers. Reynoldsburg drivers can verify their current point total through the Ohio BMV online record portal before enrolling.

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

The state requires a full restart. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window is a hard requirement. After it expires, you owe a reinstatement fee and must begin the course from the beginning. None of your previous progress counts. For drivers already under a suspension, that means the license stays suspended even longer while you restart. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the window closing means you are exposed to any new ticket without the cushion you were building. The practical move is to start the first lesson within a day or two of enrolling and pace yourself across the available days rather than leaving it all for the final week. Franklin County Clerk of Courts deadlines for court-ordered cases run independently, so check your court paperwork for any separate due date.

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

The certificate generates instantly. The moment you pass the final exam, you download BMV Form 5789 as a PDF. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. Where you send it depends on why you took the course. Drivers earning a 2-point credit or reinstating after a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV to Reynoldsburg is the Columbus East BMV Deputy Registrar on East Main Street, roughly 10 minutes west on US-40. Drivers fulfilling a court order submit to the Franklin County Clerk of Courts at 373 South High Street in downtown Columbus, about 15 minutes from Reynoldsburg. Confirm the exact submission method with your court or the BMV before you go.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you must wait until the next calendar day to try again. That is an ODPS requirement, not a provider policy. Fail the second attempt and the entire course resets. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and requires a 75% to pass. The questions come from the state-provided question bank, so the content you covered in the lessons is exactly what gets tested. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, which means you can review material as many times as needed before you ever reach the final. Treat those quizzes seriously. Reynoldsburg drivers who pace through the lessons rather than rushing tend to clear the exam on the first attempt.

Is an in-person classroom still available near Reynoldsburg, and does it matter which format I choose?

In-person classroom options exist in the Columbus metro area, typically 15 to 25 minutes west of Reynoldsburg on I-70 or US-40. Both formats satisfy the same Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements and produce the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The difference is logistics. Classroom sessions run on fixed dates, require you to drive to a Columbus-area site, and often mail the certificate days after the session ends. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, runs on your schedule within the 30-day window, saves progress automatically, and delivers the certificate the moment you pass. For Reynoldsburg drivers juggling work schedules or dealing with a suspended license that limits driving, the online format removes the commute problem entirely. The certificate carries identical legal weight either way.
