Other requirements

To apply as a disabled

veteran

, you need to provide a photo of your Sales Exemption Card and either the original document or a certified copy of proof from the Department of Veteran Affairs.

You'll also need your Social Security Number. A physical Social Security Card is best, but you just need to be able to recite your SSN.

Oklahoma learners permit

It gets a little complicated for drivers under 18. You’ll need to be at least 15 years and six months of age and appear before a

Driver's License Examiner

in order to obtain your

Oklahoma provisional license

. You can also apply for a permit if you are over 18 years old, but it is not required.

To get your learner’s permit, you’ll also need to bring:

A parent or guardian if under 18

The same documentation that is needed for licensure

Documentation of driving instruction if under the age of 16

Drivers under 18 must hold their permit for six months. Licensed drivers over 18 need to hold their permit for 30 days before applying for a license.

Passing your Oklahoma driving test

If you’re under 16 in Oklahoma, you’ll need to complete a driver’s education course from your public school or a commercial driving school, or have a parent-taught driver’s education affidavit.

If you are 16 or older, you do not need to take a driving course. However, if you are enrolled in such a course or have completed a course, bring the documentation to prove it.

You'll then have to take a vision test at the DMV. You'll pass if you can see 20/60 or better with or without glasses, or if you can see 20/50 or better in one eye.

You also have to pass a written test. There are fifty questions on safe driving and the driving laws of Oklahoma. You can retake the exam for $4.00 as soon as the next business day if you don't pass the first time.

The last element is the road test. To take this test, you will need to provide proof of automobile liability insurance and perform the test with an

approved designated examiner

Rules for driving under an Oklahoma minor license

Oklahoma has implemented additional rules for drivers under the age of 18 to ensure their safety on the road. Here are a few important rules:

Supervised driving: Drivers with a minor license must be accompanied by a licensed adult who is at least 21 years old and has maintained a valid driver's license for at least two years.

Driving curfew: You are only allowed to drive between 5:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. There may be exceptions for work, school, or essential activities.

No cell phone use: Oklahoma has strict rules that say young drivers

can't use their phones at all while driving

, even if they are hands-free. The only exception is to call the police in an emergency.

Always wear your seat belt: This is also fairly standard, but all

Oklahoma passengers must wear seat belts

. Buckle up to keep yourself and those around you safe!

No alcohol consumption: When you're a teen driver, there's no legal limit—if you're caught with even a trace of alcohol in your system, you'll likely lose your license and face more penalties.
