Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, confirm your eligibility as a licensed Ohio driver age 18 or older, and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. That ID check is required by the state before you access a single lesson. Takes about five minutes to get through enrollment.

Work Through the Course

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. The state requires 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 final exam is 40 state-provided multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately get your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The course takes a minimum of 8 hours to complete per state mandate.

Your License Stays on the Line Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes with your driving record until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Clerk of Courts in Marysville. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish can push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state's 30-day completion window starts at enrollment. Get this handled now.

Questions Union County 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 taking it for a 2-point credit?

Five categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for reaching 12 or more points under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension from before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. The certificate goes to the court, not the BMV. Union County drivers can confirm their specific requirement with the Union County Clerk of Courts in Marysville before enrolling.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point buffer under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, so your effective point total drops by two for purposes of calculating whether you hit the 12-point suspension threshold. The credit stays active for three years. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. If you currently sit at 8 points, for example, the credit brings your effective total to 6 and gives you more room before a suspension triggers. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV or the Union County Deputy Registrar office on Fifth Street in Marysville to apply the credit.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of enrollment under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and the course locks. You do not get a partial certificate. You pay the reinstatement fee again and restart the entire course from the beginning, including all lessons and the final exam. For drivers already under a suspension, that means your license stays suspended longer. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, the clock keeps running on your point total while you wait to restart. The 30-day window does not pause for weekends, holidays, or work schedules. Log in consistently from the day you enroll. The nearest Ohio BMV office serving Union County residents is in Dublin, roughly 25 miles south of Marysville on US-33.

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

You get BMV Form 5789 as a downloadable digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. Where you send it depends on your reason for taking the course. Drivers applying for a 2-point credit or reinstating a 12-point suspension submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The Union County Deputy Registrar office on Fifth Street in Marysville can process BMV submissions for Union County residents. Drivers completing the course under a court order submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, which for most Union County residents means the Union County Clerk of Courts in Marysville. Confirm the submission address with the court before you send anything, as current Ohio BMV requirements may specify additional reinstatement documents.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The final exam is 40 state-provided multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day, so if you fail on a Monday you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the state requires a full course reset under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. That means you start the entire course over from lesson one, not just the exam. The 30-day completion window also resets. Lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material sticks before you sit for the final. Union County drivers close to the 30-day deadline who fail twice should contact the Ohio BMV or the Union County Deputy Registrar to understand reinstatement implications before re-enrolling.

Does completing the 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 taking it voluntarily, is a 2-point credit. That credit lowers your effective point total by two for suspension calculation purposes and stays active for three years. Existing violations remain on your record as required by Ohio law. Drivers completing the course under a court order or for suspension reinstatement do not receive the 2-point credit at all. Their certificate satisfies the court or BMV requirement. Confirm exactly what your certificate accomplishes for your specific situation with the Union County Clerk of Courts or the Ohio BMV before submitting.
