Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver enrolled in the course. This identity check is required by the Ohio Department of Public Safety before coursework begins. Sharonville residents use their Ohio driver license or state ID for verification.

Work Through the Course Material

The curriculum covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total. Your progress saves automatically after every section.

Pass the Final 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, and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course must be completed within 30 days of enrollment, per current Ohio BMV requirements. Total required seat time is 8 hours minimum.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course certificate lands at the BMV. For court-ordered cases, the requirement stays open on your record until the court receives it. And for drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is another ticket away from a suspension. The state gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Sharonville 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 the 2-point credit?

Five categories of licensed Ohio adults qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06: drivers with 2 to 11 points seeking a 2-point credit, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers under a court order, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 OVI or OVUAC suspension. The court-ordered situation is different in one key way: no 2-point credit applies when a court mandates the course. The court just needs proof you completed it. For every other situation, you submit BMV Form 5789 directly to the Hamilton County Deputy Registrar or the main BMV office on Muhlhauser Road in West Chester, roughly 10 minutes from Sharonville.

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

The 2-point credit does not erase existing points or remove violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, giving you 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 the BMV processes it, and you can use it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. After you pass the course, you download BMV Form 5789 and submit it to the Sharonville Deputy Registrar at 11427 Chester Road or mail it directly to the Ohio BMV in Columbus.

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

The Ohio Department of Public Safety requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. 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 already dealing with a suspended license, that delay means more time off the road. For court-ordered drivers, it keeps the requirement open longer. The practical move is to pace yourself across the first two weeks so the final exam does not sneak up on you. Sharonville drivers can submit the completed certificate to the Hamilton County Deputy Registrar at 11427 Chester Road the same day they pass.

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

The certificate generates instantly as a digital PDF - BMV Form 5789 - the moment you pass the final exam. You do not wait for anything to arrive in the mail. Download it, print it if needed, and submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit or suspension reinstatement, take or mail it to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office serving Sharonville residents is on Muhlhauser Road in West Chester, approximately 10 minutes north via I-75. For court-ordered cases, submit it directly to the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts at 1000 Main Street in Cincinnati, about 15 minutes from Sharonville. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 govern how the credit gets applied after submission.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, 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. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely - you start over from lesson one, which also restarts your 30-day completion window. That is not a situation you want to be in, especially if you are already close to the deadline. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes and are worth using to actually learn the material before the final. Take the practice seriously and the 40-question exam is manageable.

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 has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to your current point total - a buffer that reduces where you stand before the next ticket counts against you. Think of it as buying yourself room before the 12-point suspension threshold kicks in. The credit is valid for three years and can be used once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Hamilton County Deputy Registrar at 11427 Chester Road in Sharonville to get the credit applied.
