If you don\u2019t want to get a REAL ID-compliant driver\u2019s license or ID card, you don\u2019t have to. However, if you don\u2019t have a REAL ID-compliant ID or driver\u2019s license, you must show TSA-approved documents.

To do so, you must have an Oklahoma commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL). Commercial vehicles are larger and more difficult to operate than standard cars and trucks, so obtaining a CDL is more involved than applying for a standard Oklahoma driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets commercial driver\u2019s license regulations nationwide. The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety oversees the CDL process in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-qualifies-to-receive-an-oklahoma-cdl\">Who Qualifies to Receive an Oklahoma CDL?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To be eligible for an Oklahoma commercial driver\u2019s license (CDL), you need to do the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Already have a valid, non-CDL driver\u2019s license<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide proof of your legal presence in the U.S.:<ul><li>1 document that proves U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status<ul><li>Examples can include the following:<ul><li>Valid U.S passports<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Certified birth certificate<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>A certificate of naturalization<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1 document that proves your Oklahoma residency, which can include:<ul><li>Copies of an Oklahoma tax return<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Current and valid life, health, or auto insurance policies<\/li><\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Current deeds or mortgage statements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Per the rules that are set by the FMCSA, CDL drivers who are under 21 years old are ONLY allowed to operate commercial vehicles within Oklahoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-commercial-learner-s-permits-in-oklahoma\">Commercial Learner\u2019s Permits in Oklahoma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can receive your CDL in Oklahoma, you must first obtain your commercial learner\u2019s permit (CLP). It may be a good idea to consider completing a commercial driver\u2019s license training course to help you on your CDL journey. This course will help prepare you for upcoming exams you need to pass to receive your CDL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re ready, you can schedule an appointment with your local Oklahoma DPS branch and take the following with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your valid driver\u2019s license<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of U.S. permanent residency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proof of your OK residency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proper medical documentation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment for all applicable fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your driving record for the past 10 years in ALL 50 states and Washington, D.C., will be checked during this appointment. You will also be required to complete all paperwork, including applications, that are given to you at the OK DPS branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must complete the appropriate written exams for the type of CDL for which you are applying. Once you pass the necessary exams, you will be issued your OK CLP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oklahoma-clp-restrictions\">Oklahoma CLP Restrictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The FMCSA requires all CLP holders to have their commercial learner\u2019s permit for at least 14 days before applying for their full CDL. While you have your CLP, you are restricted to driving on public roads with a full CDL holder accompanying you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-applying-for-an-oklahoma-driver-s-license\">Applying for an Oklahoma Driver\u2019s License<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To upgrade your CLP to a full CDL, you must complete the skills and road test. The Oklahoma skills tests are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. You can call (405) 425-2196 to schedule an appointment at a testing center near you. You will need to take the following with you to your appointment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your valid driver\u2019s license<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your Oklahoma learner\u2019s permit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment for all applicable fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s best to arrange to complete your skills test in the same type of vehicle you want to operate with your commercial driver\u2019s license. If not, you may have a restriction placed on your Oklahoma CDL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-military-cdl-holders-in-oklahoma\">Military CDL Holders in Oklahoma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some service members or veterans may be eligible to have their skills test required waived if they have at least 2 years of experience driving commercial vehicles or their equivalent.
