Getting a driver’s license allows you to legally operate a motor vehicle. In Oklahoma, you can obtain different driver’s licenses to operate different types of vehicles. Let’s explore driver’s licenses in the Sooner State.
Types of Oklahoma Driver’s Licenses
In the state of Oklahoma, you can apply for different types of driver’s licenses. Here’s what you need to know about these licenses.
- Class D – this is the standard driver’s license in Oklahoma. You are required to have a Class D driver’s license to operate standard cars, trucks, and other standard passenger vehicles, such as SUVs.
- Learner’s Permit – you are required to obtain a learner’s permit and complete the Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program before you can receive your full Oklahoma driver’s license.
- Motorcycle Endorsement – a motorcycle endorsement is placed on your standard Class D Oklahoma driver’s license. This endorsement is required to operate a motorcycle.
- Commercial Driver’s License – commercial driver’s licenses, Classes A, B, and C, are required to operate commercial vehicles. Additional testing and licensing are required.

Obtaining an Oklahoma Driver’s License Under the Age of 18
Getting your first driver’s license can be exciting! Here’s what you need to know about obtaining your initial Oklahoma driver’s license.
New Residents of Oklahoma
If you have a valid driver’s license from a different state, you can transfer your license by doing the following:
- Present your primary ID
- Provide a secondary form of ID
- Pass the vision test
- Pass the written and/or road tests (if required).
The written and/or road tests will be waived if the OK Department’s standards are met. You can call your local driver examiner’s office to learn more about this process. If you have not yet received your learner’s permit or driver’s license from your home state before moving to Oklahoma, you must complete the Graduated Driver’s License (GDL) program.
The Oklahoma Graduated Driver’s Licensing (GDL) Program
The Oklahoma GDL program is designed to reduce the risks that are associated with first-time drivers. Oklahoma teenage drivers are involved in more car crashes than any other age group throughout the state. At least 20% of 16-year-old drivers are involved in a traffic accident or receive a traffic violation within their first year of driving.
To help reduce these driving risks, the GDL program requires teenagers to meet certain milestones before they can receive their standard, full, unrestricted Oklahoma driver’s license. Many of the milestones in this program are based on age and experience.
Oklahoma Age Requirements
The age requirements in Oklahoma are as follows:
- 15 ½ years old – eligible for a learner’s permit
- 16 years old – eligible for an intermediate driver’s license
- 18 years old – eligible for an unrestricted Class D driver’s license
Driver’s Education in Oklahoma
You must complete a Department of Public Safety (DPS)- approved driver’s education course to earn your Oklahoma driver’s license. All approved courses must include 30 hours of classroom instruction and 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving for a standard driver’s education course or 55 hours for a Parent-Taught Driver’s Ed (PTDE) program. You must be at least 15 years old to enroll in a Driver’s Education (Driver’s Ed) course.
Completing a Driver’s Ed course expedites the licensing process. You can complete a Driver’s Ed course at school, at a for-profit driver school, or at home through an online parent-taught program.
Oklahoma Learner’s Permit
You must be at least 15 ½ years old AND be enrolled in an approved Driver’s Ed class to apply for an OK learner’s permit. If you are NOT enrolled in a Driver’s Ed course, you must wait until you are 16 years old to apply.
Preparing for the Oklahoma Written Exam
To earn your Oklahoma learner’s permit, you must pass a written skills exam. You can study the Oklahoma Driver’s Manual (click here to download) before taking your test. Once you have completed your Driver’s Ed requirements, or you have turned 16 years old, you’re eligible to take your written permit exam.
You’ll need to take the following to an OK DPS exam office:
- Your parent or legal guardian
- Proof of enrollment or proof of completing a Driver’s Ed Course (if you’re 15 ½ years old)
- Your birth certificate (or other primary ID)
- Your social security card (or secondary ID)
- Documentation of current enrollment in a secondary or vocational-technical school, or proof of GED enrollment or completion
- Payment to cover the $4 application fee
There is no initial testing fee in Oklahoma. You will only be charged an additional $4 if you fail and require a retest.
Oklahoma Behind-the-Wheel Training
When you have your learner’s permit, you’re ready to start the behind-the-wheel portion of your driver’s training. This training requires you to complete at least 50 hours or 55 hours of supervised driving (contingent on your Driver’s Ed course), 10 hours of which must be driven at night with a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old and has had their license for at least 2 years.
Oklahoma Intermediate License
When you’re 16 years old and have had your learner’s permit for at least 6 months, you can apply for an OK intermediate license by completing the driving test. You need to make sure you’ve completed the required hours for behind-the-wheel training BEFORE making an appointment to complete the road test.
When you arrive to complete the driving test, make sure you have the following with you:
- Your learner’s permit
- An Affidavit of Driver Training (Form DPS 300) that documents your driving hours
- Your birth certificate (or other primary ID)
- Your Social Security Card (or other secondary ID)
- Documentation of your current enrollment in a secondary or vocational-technical school, or a diploma or GED
- Your parent or legal guardian –must sign an Affidavit of Driver Training (DPS 300). If your parent or legal guardian can’t appear with you, you can submit a notarized affidavit signed by your parent.
- Payment to cover the $38.50 license fee and $4 application fee
- Registration and proof of auto insurance for the vehicle you will be using for the driving test
There is no testing fee for the initial driving exam. However, you will be charged $4 for each retest.
Restricted Driving with Your Oklahoma Intermediate License
When you have a restricted Oklahoma intermediate driver’s license, you can operate a motor vehicle without supervision between the hours of 4:30 AM to 9 PM, and you can’t drive with more than 1 passenger who does NOT live in your home. You can operate a motor vehicle at any time if you’re accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old.
Unrestricted Oklahoma Class D Driver’s License
After a certain time, your driving restrictions will be lifted, and you will be eligible for a full, unrestricted Oklahoma driver’s license. The requirements for obtaining this license will vary based on whether you completed a Driver’s Ed course.
If you have completed a Driver’s Ed course, you must have attained your intermediate license for at least 6 months and have no traffic convictions on your driving record during this time. If you did NOT complete a Driver’s Ed course, you must have attained your intermediate license for 6 months and have NO traffic convictions on your driving record during this time. If you are at least 18 years old, you can apply for an unrestricted license once you pass the driving and vision exams.
Other Oklahoma Driver’s Licenses
There are other Oklahoma driver’s available licenses, such as an Oklahoma Teenager Motorcycle/Moped license. You can obtain a motorcycle learner’s permit at age 14. This license allows you to ride motor scooters or motorcycles smaller than 300 ccs. To obtain a motorcycle or moped permit, you must complete the following:
- Provide all the required documentation
- Pass the Oklahoma written test
- Pass the vision test
- Pay the $4 application fee
- Pay the $38.50 motorcycle learner’s permit fee
While you maintain a motorcycle learner’s permit, you are restricted to riding between 4:30 AM and 9 PM. These restrictions are automatically lifted when you turn 16 years old.
To earn your full Oklahoma motorcycle endorsement or license, you need to be at least 16 years old and have a valid Class D driver’s license. To add a motorcycle endorsement, you must do the following:
- Pass the written test
- Pass the riding skills test
- Pass the vision test
- Pay the $4 application fee
- Pay the $25 motorcycle endorsement fee
Oklahoma Auto Insurance Requirements
You must have auto insurance to operate a motor vehicle by law. Having auto insurance can protect you financially in the event of an accident. Adding a teenager to your auto policy will more than likely increase the cost of your insurance premiums, so you might want to shop around for the least expensive insurance for the most coverage. Make sure you take advantage of any available discounts, such as insuring multiple vehicles.
Oklahoma Learner’s Permit Auto Insurance
Teenagers with permits can be covered under the auto insurance of the licensed adult driver riding with them. You can contact your auto insurance provider to see if this holds true for your auto insurance policy, or if you need to add more coverage.
Oklahoma Intermediate License Auto Insurance
Teenage drivers who have an intermediate driver’s license are required to provide proof of insurance to receive their full Oklahoma Class D license. Teenagers can be added to an existing family auto insurance policy, such as a parent’s policy, or they may obtain a policy of their own.
Married, Divorced, or Name Change?
Have you changed your name? If so, you may be required to provide name change documentation to the state of Oklahoma if you’re applying for a new OK driver’s license or identification card. Keep in mind that you may be required to submit a marriage license to be issued a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license card in your true full name.
Examples of identification documents that establish your true full name can include the following:
- Adoption documents that contain the legal names as a result of the adoption
- A marriage certificate
- A name change document that contains the legal name of both before and after the name change
- A certificate, declaration, or registration document that verifies the formation of a domestic partnership
- A dissolution of marriage or domestic partnership document that contains the legal name as a result of the court action
Does the REAL ID Act Impact Residents of Oklahoma?
The REAL ID is a federal security credential that is added to a state-issued driver’s license and identification card that establishes a minimum-security standard that is required for specific activities.
Starting May 7, 2025, a REAL ID driver’s license or ID card, or valid federal identification document, such as a U.S. passport, is required to do the following:
- Board a domestic flight

Is Obtaining a REAL ID Mandatory in Oklahoma?
Obtaining a REAL ID is NOT mandatory in the state of Oklahoma. If you don’t want to get a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID card, you don’t have to. However, if you don’t have a REAL ID-compliant ID or driver’s license, you must show TSA-approved documents. You can use these documents to pass TSA checkpoints at airport terminals nationwide and visit a secure federal building or military installation at any time.
You are NOT required to obtain a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card to do any of the following:

You will receive a temporary license or ID and your permanent card will be mailed to your address within 5-7 days.

Applying for a Commercial Driver’s License in Oklahoma
Driving a semi-truck, school bus, or another commercial vehicle is an awesome way to earn a living in Oklahoma. To do so, you must have an Oklahoma commercial driver’s license (CDL). Commercial vehicles are larger and more difficult to operate than standard cars and trucks, so obtaining a CDL is more involved than applying for a standard Oklahoma driver’s license.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets commercial driver’s license regulations nationwide. The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety oversees the CDL process in Oklahoma.
Who Qualifies to Receive an Oklahoma CDL?
To be eligible for an Oklahoma commercial driver’s license (CDL), you need to do the following:
- Already have a valid, non-CDL driver’s license
- Provide proof of your legal presence in the U.S.:
- 1 document that proves U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status
- Examples can include the following:
- Valid U.S passports
- Certified birth certificate
- A certificate of naturalization
- Examples can include the following:
- 1 document that proves your Oklahoma residency, which can include:
- Copies of an Oklahoma tax return
- Current and valid life, health, or auto insurance policies
- Current deeds or mortgage statements
- 1 document that proves U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status
Per the rules that are set by the FMCSA, CDL drivers who are under 21 years old are ONLY allowed to operate commercial vehicles within Oklahoma.
Commercial Learner’s Permits in Oklahoma
Before you can receive your CDL in Oklahoma, you must first obtain your commercial learner’s permit (CLP). It may be a good idea to consider completing a commercial driver’s license training course to help you on your CDL journey. This course will help prepare you for upcoming exams you need to pass to receive your CDL.
When you’re ready, you can schedule an appointment with your local Oklahoma DPS branch and take the following with you:
- Your valid driver’s license
- Proof of U.S. permanent residency
- Proof of your OK residency
- Proper medical documentation
- Payment for all applicable fees
Your driving record for the past 10 years in ALL 50 states and Washington, D.C., will be checked during this appointment. You will also be required to complete all paperwork, including applications, that are given to you at the OK DPS branch.
You must complete the appropriate written exams for the type of CDL for which you are applying. Once you pass the necessary exams, you will be issued your OK CLP.
Oklahoma CLP Restrictions
The FMCSA requires all CLP holders to have their commercial learner’s permit for at least 14 days before applying for their full CDL. While you have your CLP, you are restricted to driving on public roads with a full CDL holder accompanying you.
Applying for an Oklahoma Driver’s License
To upgrade your CLP to a full CDL, you must complete the skills and road test. The Oklahoma skills tests are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. You can call (405) 425-2196 to schedule an appointment at a testing center near you. You will need to take the following with you to your appointment:
- Your valid driver’s license
- Your Oklahoma learner’s permit
- Payment for all applicable fees
It’s best to arrange to complete your skills test in the same type of vehicle you want to operate with your commercial driver’s license. If not, you may have a restriction placed on your Oklahoma CDL.
Military CDL Holders in Oklahoma
Some service members or veterans may be eligible to have their skills test required waived if they have at least 2 years of experience driving commercial vehicles or their equivalent. You and your commanding officer will also have to complete the Application for Military Skills Test Waiver (Form CDL-ST WVR).
Oklahoma CDL Medical Requirements
The FMCSA requires all commercial vehicle drivers to be medically certified. To comply, you must schedule an appointment with your doctor and have them help you complete:
- A Medical Examination Report Form (Form MCSA-5875)
- A Medical Examiner’s Certificate (Form MCSA-5876)
You are also required to report your medical status to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety through a process known as self-certification. Once you are deemed physically fit for the job, you must keep your Medical Examiner’s Certificate with you at all times when you are operating a commercial vehicle.
Oklahoma CDL Classifications
There are different CDL classes designated by the FMCSA that permit you to operate different types of commercial vehicles in Oklahoma, such as:
- Class A (CDL) – allows individuals to operate multiple vehicles over a certain weight, such as a tractor-trailer
- Class B (CDL) – allows individuals to drive a single vehicle over a certain weight, such as a box truck
- Class C (CDL) – applies to all other types of commercial vehicles that are NOT covered by Class A or Class B CDLs
Depending on the type of commercial driver’s license you’re applying for, you must take different written and skill exams and pay different fees to the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
Oklahoma CDL Endorsement and Restrictions
You can add an endorsement to your CDL that permits you to operate more vehicle types. You can obtain an endorsement by completing additional tests at the OK DPS branch and paying the applicable fees. Some endorsements offered by the FMCSA will allow you to operate:
- Tank vehicles
- Specific passenger vehicles
- Double or triple trailers
- HAZMAT vehicles
A restriction may be placed on your CDL, which will limit the number of vehicles you can operate. You may have a restriction placed on your CDL for the following reasons:
- You can’t operate a manual transmission
- You can’t operate full-air brakes
- You do NOT pass specific medical requirements
You can remove restrictions from your CDL by completing additional testing, and paperwork, and paying all applicable fees.
