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 begin. The whole setup takes a few minutes, and you can start the first lesson the same day you enroll.

Complete the Course Lessons

Work through text and image-based interactive lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug awareness, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson. Pass the quiz to advance. Ohio law requires a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the 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 takes a minimum of 8 hours to complete per state mandate.

Your 30-Day Window Starts at Enrollment

Ohio gives you 30 days from enrollment to finish the course. Miss that window and the state requires a reinstatement fee and a full restart from lesson one. For suspended drivers, the license stays suspended until the certificate hits the BMV. For 2-point credit cases, every day without that cushion is a day one more ticket could push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension. Get enrolled and get it done.

Questions Steubenville 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 a 2-point credit?

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 after a 12-point suspension. Third, drivers with a court order to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol-related suspension. The key difference: a court-ordered completion satisfies the court requirement but does not generate a 2-point credit. The credit only applies to voluntary or BMV-required enrollments. Jefferson County residents submit the certificate to the Steubenville Deputy Registrar or the Jefferson County Clerk of Courts depending on which situation applies.

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, creating a cushion between where you stand now and the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That cushion is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and up to five times in a lifetime. So if you are sitting at 8 points and a ticket is coming, finishing the course and submitting BMV Form 5789 to the Steubenville Deputy Registrar on South Fourth Street drops your effective total to 6 and gives you more room before a suspension kicks in.

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

The state requires a full restart. Under current ODPS guidelines tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window is a hard requirement. After it expires, you pay the reinstatement fee and begin the course again from lesson one. None of your previous progress carries over. For drivers already under suspension, that means the license stays suspended even longer. For 2-point credit cases, it means more time exposed to a potential suspension-triggering ticket. The practical move is to enroll only when you have a realistic stretch of days to work through the material. The nearest BMV Deputy Registrar serving Steubenville is located in Jefferson County, and they cannot process a certificate from an expired enrollment. Start with a plan to finish.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue on the provider side. What you do with it depends on why you took the course. For a 2-point credit, submit it to the Ohio BMV. Jefferson County residents can bring it to the Steubenville Deputy Registrar or mail it to the BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Jefferson County Clerk of Courts, located at 301 Market Street in Steubenville, roughly a 10-minute drive from most parts of the city. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, the BMV processes the credit after receiving the certificate. Keep a copy of the PDF for your own records regardless of which route applies.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the 40-question state-provided final exam, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get the certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day window restarts from that point. The exam covers the same material as the lesson quizzes, so students who actually work through the driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug content rather than clicking through tend to pass on the first try. Lesson quizzes have unlimited free retakes and must be passed before advancing, which means by the time you reach the final exam the material should be familiar.

Does finishing 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 order can remove points. What the course does is generate a 2-point credit that the BMV applies to your current total, reducing it by two points. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on the record. The credit simply lowers the running total the BMV uses to determine whether you have hit the 12-point suspension threshold. For Steubenville drivers who have had a ticket or two on US-22 or along the Route 7 corridor and are watching the total climb, the credit buys meaningful breathing room. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Steubenville Deputy Registrar after passing and the BMV applies the credit to your account.
