How To Get A Oklahoma Driver’s License

Driving can afford wonderful freedom—but only if you can prove you’re responsible.

In order to legally drive in Oklahoma, you must pass a number of tests that show the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) that you can handle a vehicle and follow the rules of the road.

Still, the process looks slightly different, depending on your age and the type of vehicle you want to drive.

Oklahoma License (Under Age 18)

Oklahoma employs something called a Graduated Driver License (GDL) system for anyone applying for a first-time license under age 18.

You’ll be able to begin the process once you turn:

Learner’s Permit

The first step toward getting a full driver’s license in Oklahoma is getting your learner’s permit.

After the age and/or education requirements are met, the next step is passing the OK written exam. To do so, schedule an appointment with the DPS, and:

           

Your parent or guardian will also have to be with you to sign paperwork on your behalf.

Once the paperwork is filed, tests passed, and fee paid, you’ll be issued your learner’s permit.

OK Learner’s Permit Restrictions and Requirements

Your OK learner’s permit comes with some restrictions.

While driving on your learner’s permit in Oklahoma, you will ONLY be able to drive:

  • Between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m.
  • While accompanied by a fully-licensed passenger who’s at least 21 years old.

You’ll also need to fulfill certain requirements while practicing on this document in order to move on, including:

OR

  • Logging at least 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice with a qualified passenger.

Regardless, you’ll also need to practice on your permit for at least 6 months before you can take the driving test.

Intermediate License

After practicing with your learner’s permit, you’ll get to apply for your Oklahoma intermediate license. Achieving this goal requires passing the state’s driving exam.

In Oklahoma, driving exams happen either at:

Either way, you’ll need to schedule an appointment, and bring:

OR

  • Log of behind-the-wheel practice hours.
  • A parent or legal guardian to sign paperwork on your behalf.
  • The appropriate fee.

Once the test is passed, the paperwork signed, and the fee paid, you’ll be eligible for your intermediate license.

If you took the test at a DPS station, you’ll then be issued your intermediate license.

If you took your test at one of the certified testing centers, you’ll be given certain paperwork that you must then take to participating DPS offices in order to receive your license.

OK Intermediate License Restrictions

While driving on your OK intermediate license, you will ONLY be able to drive:

  • Between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. UNLESS driving:
    • To or from events for:
      • Church.
      • School.
      • Work.
    • While accompanied by a fully-licensed passenger who’s at least 21 years old.
  • With one passenger who’s not a member of your household, unless accompanied by a fully-licensed passenger who’s at least 21 years old.

Driver’s License

To turn your intermediate license into a full, unrestricted license, you’ll need to practice for a specific period of time, including:

  • 6 months, if you took the Parent Taught Driver’s Ed course.
  • 12 months, if you didn’t take the Driver’s Ed course.

You’ll also need to be free of any driving violations throught the process.

Once those requirements are fulfilled, return to the DPS one last time with:

You’ll then be issued your full license. Congratulations!

Driver’s License (Age 18+)

If you’re applying for a first-time driver’s license in Oklahoma and you’re 18 or older, the process is a bit more streamlined.

Written Exam

To start, you’ll have to visit the DPS in order to pass:

  • The written knowledge test.
  • A vision test.

To do so, schedule an appointment with your closest participating DPS office, and make sure to bring:

After passing the exam and paying the fee, you’ll be able to schedule your driving exam. However, in the meantime, you may only drive while accompanied by someone with their full license who’s at least 21 years old.

Road Skills Exam

To earn your full license, you’ll have to take the road skills exam. There’s no required waiting period to take this test in Oklahoma.

In Oklahoma, driving exams happen either at:

Either way, you’ll need to schedule an appointment, and bring:

The vehicle you test in will also need current and valid:

  • Liability insurance.
  • Registration.

After successfully passing the test and paying the fee, you’ll be issued your full driver’s license. Congratulations!

Transferring an Out-of-State License

Welcome to Oklahoma!

If you’re new to the state, you only have 10 days after establishing residency to transfer your out-of-state license. Luckily, the process is pretty easy.

Simply visit your closest participating Department of Public Safety office and bring:

  • Your current, valid license.

You’ll also need to pass a vision exam at this appointment and give up your out-of-state license.

Once all of the above credentials have been met, you’ll be issued your new Oklahoma license!

Oklahoma DPS Motorcycle Permit & License Info

To legally drive a motorcycle in Oklahoma, you have to be at least 14 years old. You can either:

  • Add a motorcycle endorsement to your Oklahoma license.
  • Earn a specific Oklahoma license.
    • You must take this route if you’re 16 or younger.

There are also two ways to complete the process. You can either:

Motorcycle Safety Course

This is the easiest way to earn your OK motorcycle license. As long as you pass the course, you’ll be given paperwork that waive any state DPS testing.

To turn your effort into an endorsement, simply arrive at the DPS with:

  • The course completion certificate.
  • Your current, valid OK driver’s license or permit.
  • The motorcycle license fee.

You’ll also need to pass a vision test at this appointment to complete the process.

Once the paperwork is filed and fees are paid, you’ll be issued your motorcycle license.

OK Motorcycle License, Under age 18

If you’re 16 years old or under, you’ll have to:

  • Pass the state safety course before you can apply.
  • Earn a motorcycle license.
  • Practice on a permit before taking the road test.

If you’re 18 or under, you can:

  • Get your Oklahoma motorcycle license.

OR

  • Add an endorsement to your driver’s license, if you already have it.

You will not have to pass the safety course, but you will have to practice on a permit before you can earn your license.

To get your OK motorcycle permit, schedule an appointment with the DPS, and:

  • Bring proof of your:
  • Show the safety course completion certificate, if 16 or under.
  • Pass the:
    • Motorcycle written exam.
    • Driving written exam, if 16 or under.
    • Vision exam.
  • Pay the appropriate fee.

A parent or guardian will also have to sign paperwork on your behalf.

At this point, you’ll be issued your OK motorcycle permit.

Ok Motorcycle Permit

If you’re 18 or under, you’ll be required to practice on your permit for at least 30 days before you can test for your motorcycle license.

While practicing on your permit, you can ONLY ride:

  • During sunlight hours.
  • While accompanied by and within eyesight of a fully-licensed rider who’s at least 21 years old.

When the required waiting period is up and you feel ready, you’ll need to pass the road exam.

OK Motorcycle License

To complete the process, return to either a participating DPS location or designated exam station to take your driving exam.

At this appointment, make sure to bring:

After passing the test, you’ll be issued your motorcycle license if you’re at a DPS location. If not, you’ll be given the appropriate paperwork to take back to the DPS, in order to receive your license.

OK Motorcycle License/Endorsement (Age 18+)

If you’re over 18 and choose to test through the state, earning your motorcycle license or endorsement follows the same process. You’ll have to pass a:

  • Vision test.
  • Written motorcycle exam.
  • Road skills test.

To start, schedule an appointment with the closest participating DPS office and bring:

After the paperwork is filed and fees are paid, you can either:

  • Immediately schedule a driving exam.
  • Choose to practice on a permit.

If you go the permit route, you’ll have to practice on the document for at least 30 days before you can take the driving exam. While practicing on your permit, you can ONLY ride:

  • During sunlight hours.
  • While accompanied by and within eyesight of a fully-licensed rider who’s at least 21 years old.

After either practicing with your permit or passing your written test, you’ll have to take the road skills test to finish the process.

Schedule an appointment with either a participating DPS location or a designated exam station to take your driving exam.

At this appointment, make sure to bring:

After passing the test, you’ll be issued your motorcycle license if you’re at a DPS location. If not, you’ll be given the appropriate paperwork to take back to the DPS, in order to receive your license.

Oklahoma CDL Requirements

A commercial driver’s license (CDL) will allow you to drive much larger vehicles than the average car. Before you can start the process, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old.
  • Already have a valid Oklahoma license.
  • Be cleared by a federally-approved doctor or receive a medical waiver.

Once the above is complete, you can begin the CDL process.

The process involves passing your written knowledge exam. To take it, visit your closest DPS office and bring:

  • Your current, valid OK driver’s license.
  • A completed medical self-certification form/waiver.
  • Proof of your:
  • The CLP fee.

After the paperwork is filed, the fee paid and the test passed, you’ll be issued your CLP. You must hold this credential for at least 14 days before you can take the road test.

While practicing on your permit, you are also required to drive with a CDL-holder who’s at least 21 years old.

Commercial Driver’s License (CDL)

To turn your CLP into a CDL, you’ll have to pass the driving skills exam. Note, only some DPS offices will be able to schedule this test.

Make sure to bring with you:

  • Your current, valid CLP.
  • Your current, valid driver’s license.

You must arrive to this appointment with a CDL-holding passenger who’s at least 21 years old. The vehicle you test in must also have current and valid:

  • Insurance.
  • Registration.

After passing the test and paying the fee, you’ll need to return to a regular DPS office to:

  • Turn in your test results.
  • Pay the CDL fee.

After everything has been logged in the system, you’ll be issued your CDL.
