2. How do I transfer a valid (not expired) license from another state to Oklahoma?
   
   Upon establishing residence, new residents who own vehicles that are in Oklahoma are required to register all of their vehicles in Oklahoma before they apply for an Oklahoma driver license. Upon the completion of registering your vehicle(s) (if applicable), and if your license from another state is valid, take it along with a second approved form of identification to a Driver Examiner. The written and driving test may be waived if department standards are met. If you possess an out-of-country license please contact a Driver Examiner to find out if the tests can be waived.
   
   Even if your written and driving tests are waived, you will still be required to take a vision test.
3. I have a revoked license from another State, can I get an Oklahoma License anyway?
   
   No. Under Oklahoma Statutes, no person can be licensed if their privilege to drive is withdrawn from this state or any other state.
4. If I fail my driving test, when can I return for my next test?
   
   If you do not already have a driving permit, you can take the skills test up to three times. A one-day minimum waiting period is required between each test, but can be longer at the discretion of the examiner. If you do not pass the third test, you will be required to obtain a learners permit and hold it for at least 30 days.
   
   If you do already have a permit, you can take up to three skills tests with a minimum one-week waiting period between each test (or longer, at the discretion of the examiner). Subsequent tests can be administered every 30 days thereafter.
5. Where can I get information about the motorcycle endorsement?
   
   Oklahoma law requires a motorcycle endorsement prior to operating a motorcycle. A written, vision and driving exam is required for any person to add a motorcycle endorsement to a driver license. Persons who present a completion certificate from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation may have the driving portion of the test waived. Interested persons should contact a Driver License Examiner.
   
   Motorcycle manuals can be obtained at any testing facility or tag agency or downloaded from this website:
