  • Learner’s Permit – 15 1/2 years old
  • Intermediate Driver’s License – 16 years old
  • Unrestricted Driver’s License – 18 years old

What documents am I required to bring with me when applying for a license in Oklahoma?

  • Proof of driver’s ed enrollment or completion (if you are 15 ½ years old)

Drivers under 15 ½ are required by the Oklahoma Department of Safety to take driver’s education before applying for a Learner’s Permit. The course can be given by a commercial driving school, a secondary school or by a parent.

What if I am new to Oklahoma?

Teens with a valid driver’s license from another state can transfer their license to Oklahoma by going to a local Driver License Exam Site. You must present proper identification, pass a vision test and a written test and road test, if required.

What subjects are commonly covered on the written test?

The questions on the Oklahoma written knowledge test are taken from the state’s Driver’s Manual and cover Oklahoma traffic laws, safe driving practices, and drug and alcohol laws and effects. In addition, you should also study city or town traffic laws. Here are some examples of content from the driver’s manual that you might be tested on:

  • Signs that are orange in color indicate that you are nearing or have entered a work zone. Most of these signs are diamond shaped but they can also be rectangular
  • When preparing to enter or cross a highway that has no traffic signals or signs, you should always stop and yield to approaching traffic and proceed only when it is safe to do so

How is the test formatted?

The Oklahoma test is multiple choice.

Are there a lot of “trick” questions on the written test?

No, there are no trick questions. All questions are taken from the state driver’s manual. Some questions may be more difficult to answer than others but if you study the manual you should not find any to be a surprise or “tricky.”

There are 50 questions on the Oklahoma test and you must answer at least 40 of them correctly to pass.

What are the best ways to prepare for the written test?

How can I improve my odds for passing the first time I take the test?

You can take a practice test to assess your current understanding of Oklahoma’s driving laws and determine where you need to focus your studies.

What should I do the night before the test?

What you don’t want to have to do is stay up all night cramming because you didn’t study enough in the other days preceding the exam.

How to Get Your Oklahoma Learner’s Permit in 2024

Getting your permit and ultimately your driver’s license in the state of Oklahoma means completing the Graduated Driver’s License Program (GDL), a multi-stage process that will help you develop crucial driving skills while remaining in a supervised environment. The GDL program was implemented in Oklahoma in 2006, and since then, teenage traffic deaths have been reduced by 45 percent.

The Oklahoma GDL process includes three different stages:

  • Learner’s Permit
  • Intermediate License
  • Full License

This guide will help you understand the various stages of the GDL process, show you how to pass the Oklahoma permit test and go on to earn full driving privileges.

Learner’s Permit

If you sign up for an approved driver’s education class, you can apply for your permit as early as age 15 and a half. If you don’t want to take driver’s education, you can apply for your permit at age 16. Taking a driver’s education course is strongly encouraged.

To get your permit, you will need to pass a written skills exam (also known as the permit test). This multiple-choice exam will test your knowledge of traffic law, traffic signs, and signals.

The Oklahoma DPS Test — What You Need to Know

Getting a learner’s permit is a very important moment in one’s life. It offers you a new level of mobility, freedom, and independence that you’ve never had before.  But, before you can enjoy the open road, you must first pass the Oklahoma DPS written test.

Oklahoma’s Department of Public Safety office requires that you pass the permit test before issuing you a learners permit. This written test contains questions in multiple-choice format designed to ensure you have the basic knowledge to be a safe driver.  You will be evaluated on your knowledge of the rules of the road, Oklahoma traffic laws, and various road and traffic signs.

Study Like Crazy

If you want to ensure that you will do well on the test, you should make study a priority. We provide a free copy of the Oklahoma Driver’s Handbook for you to use, and if you prefer a physical copy, you can visit the offices of the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) and request one.

Perform Your Best With OK DPS Practice Tests

Without proper preparation and practice, you’ll likely fail the permit test.  In fact, statistics have revealed that 2 out of every 3 test takers fail the exam.  The number one reason for failure is a lack of preparation.  A failed exam means more time spent at the DPS office as you have to retake the exam and in some cases pay a retest fee.  Who has time for that?

The good news is that we’re here to help.

We’ve put together a collection of important resources to help you begin preparing for the test. You’ll discover our sample Oklahoma practice permit tests allow you to quickly get the feedback you need.  The practice tests also provide you with a preview of what the real test format will look like.  We also offer the official Oklahoma Driver’s Manual for reference. And, if you need to get a motorcycle permit, you’ll find helpful resources here too.

Now it’s time for you to make an important choice. Do you “wing it” and take a chance failing the test? Or, do you take advantage of our study material?

Taking practice exams before you try the real thing is an excellent way to up your odds of doing well. Our Oklahoma practice permit test features the same subject matter as the real test and is a wonderful resource for learning.

Visit the DPS Offices and Take Your Tests

When you’re ready for the permit test, visit the local DPS offices and bring along:

  • Your parent or legal guardian.
  • Proof of enrollment or completion of a driver’s education course if you are under the age of 16.
  • Your certified birth certificate.
  • Your Social Security card.
  • Proof that you are enrolled in or have completed school.

Note: There is no fee for a first-time permit test, but if you fail and require a second chance, there will be a fee of $4.

At this point, you will be given your permit test. Relax and do your best. When you pass, you will be given a vision test, and from there, you will receive your Learner’s Permit.

Get to Practicing

While holding your permit, you are required to complete at least 50 hours of practice driving under the supervision of a licensed driver age 21 or above who has held his or her license for at least two years. Of those practice hours, at least 10 must take place at night.

Intermediate License

When you are 16 years old, you have carried your permit for at least six months and you have completed the practice-driving requirements, you can make an appointment to take the driving test and apply for your Intermediate License.

When you leave for your appointment, be sure to bring along:

  • Your Learner’s Permit.
  • Your certified birth certificate and Social Security card.
  • An Affidavit of Driver Training (Form DPS-300) that shows you completed your required practice.
  • Proof of enrollment or completion of school.
  • Your parent or legal guardian.
  • $21.50 in testing and license fees.
  • A registered and insured (with proof) vehicle to use for the driving test.

Now, you will be given your behind-the-wheel test, which will check how well you maintain control of your vehicle and observe traffic laws. After you pass, you will be given your Intermediate License, which comes with some restrictions. Unless supervised by a licensed driver age 21 or above, you cannot:

  • Drive between 9:00 p.m. and 4:30 a.m.
  • Drive with more than one passenger who isn’t a member of your household.

Driver’s License

When you are 16 and a half years old, and you have held your Intermediate License for at least six months without any traffic convictions, the restrictions will be removed from your license. Congratulations! You can now enjoy full driving privileges.

Additional Information

If you are caught driving while using a cell phone or other hand-held electronic device, your license may be suspended or canceled.

If you don’t want to complete the GDL process, you can simply wait until you are 18 years old and then pass the written, vision and driving tests to receive your full license.
