Reinstating a Driver's License in Oklahoma

Service Oklahoma handles reinstatement. Your driving privilege stays suspended until you meet the requirements for your suspension type, which can include serving the suspension period and paying the statutory reinstatement fee (point suspensions run 1, 3, 6 or 12 months for the first through fourth or later suspension), completing the Impaired Driver Accountability Program for DUI arrests on or after November 1, 2022, or requesting a Financial Responsibility Hearing for an uninsured collision. You can start a reinstatement online through SOK Online or by a Virtual Visit. If you do not know why you are suspended, you can request your driving record (up to the prior three years) for $25.00. A modified or provisional license may be available in some cases.

Driving privileges can be suspended or revoked for traffic offenses (including 10+ points in five years), criminal offenses, insurance issues, and ticket offenses; the Violation Code Book marks which violations qualify for failure-to-appear and failure-to-pay suspensions. A suspension or revocation stays in effect until all reinstatement requirements are met. To clear a points suspension, the driver serves the suspension period and pays the statutory reinstatement fee, usually by mail or in person, though some cases require meeting a Driver Compliance Hearing Officer. A driver suspended after a collision without insurance may request an administrative Financial Responsibility Hearing.

A Modified Driver License allows restricted driving during the mandatory suspension or revocation period when the person has no other adequate means of transportation. It may be available (not guaranteed) for point suspensions, driving-while-impaired (under 0.08), a first drug suspension, a first suspension for eluding an officer, and DUI arrests before November 1, 2022 (with an interlock). It covers Class D vehicles only. For DUI arrests on or after November 1, 2022, reinstatement goes through IDAP instead.
