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 completing the course. Hamilton County residents, including those in Springdale, follow the same ODPS enrollment requirements as any Ohio driver. The process takes only a few minutes to complete before your first lesson unlocks.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug effects on driving, and related traffic safety topics 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. Progress saves automatically after each section.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass, and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly as a digital PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum, as mandated by ODPS, and must be finished within 30 days of enrollment.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Gets Done

For anyone reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. The court requirement stays open until the certificate lands in front of a judge. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on a record already sitting at 8 or 9 points can push you straight into suspension territory. The 30-day completion window from ODPS makes waiting a real risk. Start now and get this behind you.

Questions Springdale Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio law. Drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record can take it voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before another ticket causes more damage. Drivers who hit 12 or more points within two years and had their license suspended must complete it before reinstatement. Drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program must finish it to satisfy that order. Drivers age 19 or older reinstating after a juvenile suspension, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related offense, also qualify. Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 govern all five situations. Springdale residents can confirm their specific requirement with the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts or the Springdale Deputy Registrar on West Kemper Road.

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 is apply a 2-point credit to your record under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which creates a cushion against future accumulation. If your record sits at 8 points and you earn the credit, the BMV treats it as 6 points for suspension threshold purposes going forward. The credit is valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit at all. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Springdale Deputy Registrar on West Kemper Road or directly to the Ohio BMV to apply the credit.

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 deadline. After it expires, your enrollment closes, and you must pay the reinstatement fee and begin the entire course from the beginning. None of your completed lessons or quiz scores carry over. For drivers reinstating a suspended license, this also means the suspension continues until a new enrollment is completed and the certificate is submitted. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and work through it steadily. Springdale drivers with a court deadline should check their order date against the 30-day window and plan accordingly with the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts if needed.

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

The certificate comes immediately. Pass the 40-question final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF you can download and print or email right away. No waiting for mail. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Springdale residents can take it to the Springdale Deputy Registrar on West Kemper Road or to the Hamilton County BMV title office on Zig Zag Road in Loveland, roughly 18 miles from Springdale. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, typically the Hamilton County Municipal Court or whichever court handled your case. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, BMV Form 5789 is the only accepted certificate format for this course.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day, as required under current Ohio BMV requirements. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window restarts from that point. The final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. 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. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets the exam structure and retake rules. Springdale drivers with a tight court deadline should factor in the possibility of a reset when planning their schedule.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course runs a minimum of 8 hours as mandated by ODPS, with no cap on how long you can take beyond the 30-day window. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, at least 25 percent of the curriculum covers driver attitude, and at least 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The rest addresses traffic safety topics including crash factors and Ohio traffic law. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your 8 hours. The format is text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. There is no live video streaming. Springdale drivers who commute on Route 4 or I-275 daily will recognize a lot of the real-world scenarios the material covers.
