Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a)
Purpose.
The purpose of this
				  Section is to establish the procedures for a person under the age of eighteen
				  (18) years to apply for and be issued a Class D driver license and whose parent
				  has not filed an objection with Service Oklahoma prohibiting the licensing of
				  the person [47 O.S. § 6-103.1].
(b)
Exclusions.
This Section
				  does not apply to motorcycles and other motor-driven cycles.
(c)
Learner Permit.
A person at
				  least 15 1/2 but less than 16, who is currently receiving instruction in or has
				  successfully completed a driver education course, or a person at least 16, with
				  or without driver education, may make application to Service Oklahoma for a
				  Learner Permit. Service Oklahoma will issue a Learner Permit under this
				  subsection if Service Oklahoma approves the application and if the person
				  successfully passes all required examinations and is otherwise eligible for the
				  driver license [47 O.S. §§ 6-103, 6-105].
(1)
Application requirements.
The customer shall meet the following requirements before Service Oklahoma
				  grants driving privileges to operate a Class D motor vehicle and issues a
				  learner permit to the person.
(A) The
				  applicant shall provide proof of identity and other required documentation [see
				  subsection (B)], submit all application information, sign the application, and
				  successfully pass the vision and written tests. The applicant shall have his or
				  her driver license application signed by a legal custodial parent or legal
				  guardian of the applicant either in person before a person authorized to
				  administer oaths, if electronically completing an online application or submit
				  a notarized affidavit approved by Service Oklahoma that is signed by a
				  custodial legal parent or legal guardian [47 O.S. § 6-107(A)].
(B) For an applicant at least 15 1/2 years of
				  age but less than 16 years of age, documentation of attendance or successful
				  completion of a driver education course as defined in 47 O.S. §
				  6-105(C)(1) shall be submitted. If the applicant is 16 years of age or older
				  and has successfully completed a driver education course, the documentation may
				  be submitted. Documentation of attendance shall be the certificate of
				  enrollment issued to the person from the driver education instructor, a signed
				  contract or an attendance card issued for the person by the commercial driver
				  education school, or an approved application for parent-taught driver education
				  from Service Oklahoma and a receipt of purchase from a parent-taught driver
				  education provider. Documentation of completion shall be the completion
				  certificate issued to the person from the driver education instructor, a
				  completion certificate issued to the person by the commercial driver education
				  school, or a completion certificate from a parent-taught driver education
				  provider. Any applicant who has completed driver education at a public high
				  school in a state other than Oklahoma shall be required to obtain a completion
				  certificate issued by the Oklahoma high school in which he or she is currently
				  enrolled. Proof of driver education from an out-of-state commercial driver
				  education program may be accepted.
