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. The process takes a few minutes and your progress saves automatically after every section so nothing gets lost if you close the browser.

Complete the Course Lessons

Work through the state-mandated curriculum covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug awareness, and traffic safety. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. Score 75% or higher and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a PDF. The course requires 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the Hamilton County BMV or your court the same day.

Your License Stays on Hold Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket without that cushion can push the total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Get enrolled now and protect your driving privileges.

Questions Silverton Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers take this course 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 causes a problem. 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 age 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered drivers do not receive the 2-point credit. Silverton residents can confirm their specific reason with the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts or the BMV on Montgomery Road before enrolling.

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 create a cushion. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit reduces your active point total by two, which can be the difference between staying under 12 points and triggering a suspension after your next ticket. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and Ohio allows a maximum of five credits in a lifetime. Drivers in Silverton sitting at 8 or 9 points should think seriously about banking this credit before the next stop on Montgomery Road or I-71 pushes them over the line.

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

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 start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road and more money out of pocket. The practical move is to enroll only when you have a realistic stretch of days to finish. The course saves your progress automatically after each section, so you can split the work across multiple sessions inside that 30-day window without losing anything.

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 certificate immediately. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest BMV serving Silverton residents is located on Montgomery Road, roughly 10 minutes from Silverton in Hamilton County. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, which for most Silverton residents means the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes point credits after receiving the certificate. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records before you submit the original.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following day. 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 lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Silverton drivers who take the lesson quizzes seriously and review the driver attitude and alcohol sections typically do not find the final exam a problem. Take the prep seriously.

Does completing this course remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or erase violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course provides for eligible drivers is a 2-point credit, which reduces your active point total by two and creates a buffer before the next ticket could push you into suspension territory. For drivers completing the course under a court order or to reinstate after a 12-point suspension, the certificate satisfies the requirement but does not wipe the record clean. Silverton residents who want to understand exactly what their current point total looks like can check their abstract at the Hamilton County Deputy Registrar or through the Ohio BMV online portal.
