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. Miami County residents use the same enrollment process as anyone in the state. The ID check is required by ODPS before you access any coursework.

Work Through the Course

The lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug material, and traffic safety content. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out on your lunch break near the square in Troy and pick up exactly where you left off.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass, and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and you get your BMV Form 5789 certificate instantly. The course requires a minimum of 8 hours of instruction time to complete.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For reinstatement cases, every day you wait is another day you cannot legally drive on State Route 55 or anywhere else in Ohio. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push your Miami County record past 12 points and trigger a suspension. Ohio also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish. Start the course this week and close the gap before it closes your driving privileges.

Questions Troy 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 categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record can take the course voluntarily to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them toward a suspension. Drivers who hit 12 points and had their license suspended must complete the course before reinstatement. Courts can also order the course as a condition of a case, and that situation carries no 2-point credit. Drivers 19 or older reinstating from a juvenile suspension, and drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension, also qualify. For Troy residents, the Miami County Clerk of Courts handles court-ordered cases. Confirm which category applies to you 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 subtract two points from your current total, which creates a cushion before the next ticket pushes you over the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV applies it, and you can use it once every three years, up to five times in your lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Troy Deputy Registrar at their Miami County location and the BMV applies the credit to your record. It is a buffer, not a clean slate.

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

Ohio 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 reinstating a suspended license, this means your license stays suspended longer and your reinstatement timeline resets. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the delay leaves your record exposed to the next ticket. Troy is about 25 miles north of the Dayton BMV, and any paperwork delays compound the problem. Enroll only when you have enough time in the next 30 days to finish the full course.

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

Pass the final exam and you get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF certificate immediately. There is no processing delay. Download it and submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit, take or mail the certificate to the Troy Deputy Registrar, located in Miami County, or submit it directly to the Ohio BMV. For a court-ordered case, deliver it to the Miami County Clerk of Courts, which is located at the Miami County Courthouse in Troy on North Main Street. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the BMV processes point credits after receiving the certificate. Keep a copy of the certificate for your own records regardless of which office you submit it to.

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. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate immediately. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window continues running from your original enrollment date, not from the reset. That combination can put you in a tight spot fast, especially if you are already a few weeks into the window. Take the exam seriously the first time. Review the lesson material before you start.

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

No. Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or violations from your record. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit to the current point total, which lowers the number the BMV counts toward the 12-point suspension threshold. Think of it as reducing your exposure, not wiping the slate. The underlying violations stay on your record. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for reinstatement after a 12-point suspension, the course satisfies the state requirement but does not alter the point history. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Troy Deputy Registrar to get the credit applied.
