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 taking the course. This identity verification step is required by the Ohio Department of Public Safety before any coursework begins. Auglaize County residents use their Ohio driver license or state ID.

Work Through the Course Material

Complete text and image-based interactive lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drugs, and traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

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 have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For reinstatement cases, every day you wait is another day you cannot legally drive on Auglaize County roads, including US-33 through Wapakoneta. For 2-point credit cases, one more ticket can push your record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to finish before you owe a reinstatement fee and start over.

Questions Wapakoneta Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of licensed Ohio drivers qualify under current ODPS guidelines. 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 a license suspended for reaching 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. If you fall into any of these categories, enroll at TrafficSchool.net and confirm your reason at registration.

Does finishing the course actually remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No, the course does not remove existing points. Only an Ohio court can order points removed from a driving record. What the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does is apply a 2-point credit to your record, which acts as a cushion against future points. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, that credit is valid for three years, can only be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. So if you currently sit at 9 points, the credit brings your effective total to 7, giving you more room before hitting the 12-point suspension threshold. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Wapakoneta Deputy Registrar or directly to the Ohio BMV after passing.

What happens if I do not finish 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 two things happen: you owe a reinstatement fee to the Ohio BMV, and you have to start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your previous progress carries forward. For Auglaize County drivers on a suspension, that also means more days without a valid license. The 30-day clock starts the moment you enroll, not the moment you first log in to study. Set a realistic schedule from day one. If your suspension reinstatement or court deadline is close, enroll and start the first session the same day. The Wapakoneta Deputy Registrar on Defiance Trail cannot process your reinstatement without the completed certificate.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

You get the certificate immediately. The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF and makes it available for download. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. For 2-point credit cases, take that PDF to the Wapakoneta Deputy Registrar or mail it to the Ohio BMV as directed under current Ohio BMV requirements. For court-ordered cases, submit it directly to the Auglaize County Clerk of Courts, located at the courthouse on North Court Street in Wapakoneta, roughly a five-minute drive from most parts of town. Keep a copy for your own records regardless of which agency you submit to first.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the final exam, but only one attempt per calendar day under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate normally. Fail both attempts and the course resets completely. You start over from lesson one, the 30-day window resets, and you go through all the material again before reaching the final exam. The final is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state, and you need a 75% to pass. Take the practice quizzes in each lesson seriously. They cover the same material the final draws from, and unlimited free retakes on those quizzes mean there is no reason to skip them.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Wapakoneta residents, and how does it compare?

In-person classroom sessions do still exist in Ohio, but none operate in Wapakoneta itself. Auglaize County drivers would need to travel to an approved site in a neighboring county, typically Lima in Allen County, roughly 30 miles from Wapakoneta. That means fuel costs, scheduling around a fixed class date, and time off work. The online Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets the same Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements and issues the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The course runs 8 hours minimum with a 10-minute break required after every two consecutive hours, and there is no cap on how many hours you can study in a single day. For most Wapakoneta drivers, the online option is the practical one.
