License Reinstatement
CALL 918.960.3434 TO SCHEDULE YOUR ALCOHOL/DRUG ASSESSMENT
Oklahoma has a stringent policy on license revocations. Any of the infractions listed below will automatically result in the immediate revocation of your driver's license for a period of six months to three years:
- Manslaughter or negligent homicide resulting from operating a motor vehicle.
- Driving or being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants.
- Any felony in which a motor vehicle is used.
- Failure to stop and render aid if you are a driver involved in a collision resulting in death or personal injury (leaving the scene of a collision, i.e., hit-and-run).
- Perjury or making a false statement under oath to obtain a license of for any other legal matter relating to the ownership or operation of a motor vehicle.
- Any drug conviction (misdemeanor or felony); this does not have to involve a motor vehicle.
You may also be subject to revocation of your driver's license if you are convicted of multiple traffic violations. Oklahoma has a mandatory point system, where points are accumulated against your driving record for moving violations.
Steps for Reinstatement:
- Call 918.960.3434 to schedule an Alcohol/Drug Assessement.
- You must have an Alcohol/Drug Assessment. This evaluation MUST be performed by a counseling professional CERTIFIED by the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
- At the end of your assessment, you will be given specific requirements to complete (DUI School, Victim's Impact Panel, substance abuse treatment, etc.) and any additional requirements made by the Deparment of Public Safety before driver's license will be reinstated.
- You must meet all statutory requirements to be reinstated.
- When you finish the requirements, return proof of completion to the Assessor.
- At that time, a Certificate of Completion will be issued to you. This Certificate will bear an embossed seal and red stamp indicating the date all requirements have been satisfied.
- You will submit in person or by mail an original of this certificate along with the reinstatement fee in money order made out to the DPS.

Modified License
Depending on the circumstances of your license suspension or revocation, you might be able to get a modified license. To get a modified license, you might be required to install an ignition interlock system in your vehicle(see below). The request for modified license may be made through your attorney or the form may be obtained through us. Call the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety at (405) 425-2098 to find out more about modified licenses.
Ignition Interlock System
If you have lost your license due to alcohol, you will probably be required to have an ignition interlock system installed on your vehicle.
The ignition interlock system is a mechanical device installed into your vehicle that makes it impossible for you to drive if you have been drinking. The interlock system is similar to a Breathalyzer, in that you must breathe into a tube or aperture before you can start your vehicle. If the system detects alcohol, your vehicle will not start. The most recent interlock systems require a rolling test (having to blow into the interlock breathalyzer while driving) in addition to your initial breath sample.
Call (405) 425-2098 for further information about obtaining an ignition interlock system.
