Thinking about getting your driver's license at the Oklahoma DMV? Here's exactly what you need to know to get your permit, pass your road test, and get your Oklahoma driver license.

Here's How to Get Your Oklahoma Driver's License

Here's what you'll need to get your Oklahoma license:

  1. Proof of Identification
  2. Proof of your Social Security Number - if you have one.
  3. Any documents showing a legal name change: such as marriage, adoption, or divorce. These documents should connect all of the last names from the birth certificate to the current last name.
  4. If you are taking a driving test, you will need valid and current proof of automobile liability insurance.

Here's what you'll need to do to get your Oklahoma license:

  1. Read the Oklahoma Driver Manual and take written practice tests online.
  2. Apply for your Learner’s Permit: submit the required documents and ID at the DMV; consider making a DMV appointment or getting a line waiting concierge.
  3. At the DMV, submit the application for a driver's license, pay the fees, pass the written test, pass the vision test, receive your Learner’s Permit.
  4. Once you're ready, schedule your road test on the DMV website or you can schedule on Skip. If you need a car or driver for your road test, you can schedule a road test concierge here.
  5. Before your road test, visit the ultimate Oklahoma DMV road test guide to find out more information about the Oklahoma driving test.
  6. Once you pass your road test you'll receive your Oklahoma Driver's License.

Here are Oklahoma driver's license exceptions to note:

  • If you make an online appointment for the vision and written test you must make a separate appointment for the Skills test (driving test).
  • If you feel you are not ready for the skills test, you can get a Learner Permit after completing the vision test and written test. This will allow you to practice driving under the condition that a licensed operator who is age 21 or older, and who has had a license for at least two years, is in the front seat beside you.
  • If you are under the age of 18, you must have a permit for 6 months from the issue date. Anyone over 18 who gets a permit must hold it for 30 days minimum.
  • If you are under 18 years of age, you must bring documentation showing you meet the current enrollment or attendance requirements in a secondary or vocational technical school and that you have successfully passed the criterion - referenced reading test required for all eighth grade students (usually referred to as the school letter). If you're under 18, you must have a Parent or Legal Guardian present.
