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. This identity verification step is required by the Ohio Department of Public Safety before any coursework begins. Takes only a few minutes to clear.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, traffic laws, and crash prevention. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and pick up exactly where you left off.

Pass the Final Exam 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. The course must be completed within 8 hours total. Pass it and your BMV Form 5789 certificate downloads instantly as a PDF.

Your License Stays on Hold Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your record until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is finished and the certificate is submitted. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you a 30-day completion window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Questions Walton Hills 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 groups qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06: drivers with 2 to 11 points seeking a 2-point credit, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension, drivers with a court order, drivers 19 or older reinstating from a juvenile suspension, and drivers reinstating after an under-21 alcohol offense. The court-ordered group has no choice and receives no 2-point credit. The 2-point credit group is choosing to act proactively before a ticket pushes their record over 12 points. Both groups complete the same Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course and submit the same BMV Form 5789 certificate, just to different recipients. Walton Hills residents submit to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts or the BMV depending on their situation.

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. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, the credit acts as a cushion, reducing your active point total by two points for purposes of the suspension threshold. A driver sitting at 10 points drops to an effective 8 after the credit posts, which creates room before the next ticket could trigger a 12-point suspension. The credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Walton Hills drivers submit the completed BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV to activate the credit.

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

The Ohio Department of Public Safety 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 restart the entire course from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers with a suspended license, that means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more exposure to a suspension if another ticket lands during the gap. The practical move is to pace yourself across the first two weeks rather than cramming everything into the final days. Walton Hills drivers can log in from any device to keep steady progress.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as a digital PDF instantly. You do not wait for anything to be mailed or processed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV branch serving Walton Hills residents is the Cuyahoga County BMV, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Walton Hills depending on traffic on Dunham Road or Northfield Road. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts. Confirm the exact submission address with the court before you go, since requirements under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 can vary by case type. Keep a copy of the certificate for your own records.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. You get two attempts total, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, meaning you start over from lesson one. That also eats into your 30-day completion window. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes and exist specifically to prepare you for the final. Take them seriously rather than clicking through quickly. Walton Hills drivers who work through the driver attitude and alcohol sections carefully tend to be better prepared for the exam questions.

Does completing 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 an Ohio court has the authority to remove points. What the course does for eligible drivers is apply a 2-point credit, which lowers the active point total used to calculate whether you are approaching the 12-point suspension threshold. Think of it as creating a buffer, not a clean slate. The violations and their associated points remain visible on your record. The Walton Hills Deputy Registrar on Dunham Road can pull your current point total so you know exactly where you stand before and after the credit posts to your record.
