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. Wayne County residents taking this course for a court order should confirm the case number with the Wayne County Clerk of Courts before enrolling so the certificate goes to the right place.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. State rules require a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Final 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 you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The entire course must be finished within 8 hours total, completed inside the 30-day enrollment window.

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 certificate hits the BMV. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, every week without that cushion is a week where one more ticket on US-30 or SR-83 can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and you pay the reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Questions Shreve Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio adults qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. 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 window. Third, drivers a court has ordered to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a point credit; the other situations may. Shreve residents should confirm their specific reason with the Wayne County Clerk of Courts or the Wooster BMV before enrolling.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from a driving record. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. If you currently have 8 points, the credit brings your effective total to 6 for purposes of the threshold calculation, but the underlying violations and their points stay on the record. The credit is valid for three years, can be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Court-ordered completions earn no credit at all. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Wooster BMV office, about 20 miles from Shreve, to apply the credit to your account.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and restart the entire course from the beginning. Progress you completed does not carry over. For drivers whose license is already suspended, that means more time off the road while you work through the course a second time. The 30-day clock does not pause for weekends or holidays. Mark your enrollment date the day you register. Shreve residents with a court deadline should also check with the Wayne County Clerk of Courts to confirm the court's own due date, which may be shorter than the state's 30-day window.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF immediately. 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 office to Shreve is the Wooster BMV, roughly 20 miles east on US-30. For a court-ordered case, submit it to the Wayne County Clerk of Courts, located in Wooster at 107 W Liberty St. The Shreve Deputy Registrar handles basic title and registration work but does not process Adult Remedial Driving Course certificates, so go directly to the Wooster BMV or the Clerk of Courts depending on your situation. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records regardless of where you submit it.

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 the second attempt and the course resets entirely; you start over from lesson one and must finish the full course again within a new 30-day window. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes and do not carry this penalty. Take the final seriously. Review the driver attitude sections and the alcohol and drug material, which together make up at least half the curriculum, before you sit for it. Shreve residents with a court deadline have no buffer for a full course reset.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Department of Public Safety mandates the curriculum split under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. At least 25 percent of the course covers driver attitude, meaning how perception, emotion, and decision-making behind the wheel contribute to crashes. At least another 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles, including impairment thresholds and Ohio OVI law. The rest covers Ohio traffic statutes, crash data, and risk awareness. The format is text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections, not live video. State rules also require a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward the 8-hour minimum. The attitude and impairment sections are the ones that actually stick after you finish.
