Renewing Expired Oklahoma Drivers License

 

Oklahoma Drivers License Renew ExpiredUnbeknownst to me, my Oklahoma drivers license expired at the end of 2012.  Regular Drivers Licenses in Oklahoma are for 4 years.  Since my birthday is in December, and they expire the last day of the month of your birth month, December was it for me..   

Saturday, I pulled them out of my billfold to use as ID to pick up an order at a local store and while I was waiting on the sales clerk to get ready for the information from my license, I looked them over..    Uh Oh..  

I haven't had any reason to check them, and there's nothing that comes in the mail, etc.. so I did not know my Oklahoma Drivers License had expired..  

Tag offices (where you renew Oklahoma Drivers License) were closed on Monday, but I checked the Oklahoma website and it indicated that I would need to bring my birth certificate and my expired license to get the expired license renewed.  

Tuesday morning, first thing, I called the local tag office and they told me to just bring the drivers license.  

As long as I renewed them by the end of this month, I would not need to bring my birth certificate or go see the license examiner.  

I was glad!  

So it wasn't so time consuming as I feared.. there was no penalty.  It took about 10 minutes and I walked out with my new license.  

This time, I'm marking all of my calendars, 4 years down the road to renew my Oklahoma Drivers License so they will not become expired Oklahoma Drivers License that needs to be renewed.

Judy, I just renewed mine in Texas and it was pretty easy by going on line.   Dang girl, you take really good pictures.  Mine always look like mug shots.

After living overseas and having drivers licensed issued by the military I didn't even think about my Virginia license until the same thing happened.  Suffice it to say I was required to take both the written and driving test as mine had been expired for over 3 years.  The driving instructor was impressed at my parallel parking skills as it is apparently a lost art.

Judi: I had to check mine to make sure it had not expired...all is ok here.  Good to hear it was relatively painless for you.

This happened to me one time when I needed to rent a car.  I couldn't rent it because it was expired and so someone had to drive me over the the DMV (NY) to get it issued.  I hate when I do things like this.

I believe, here in CA, it is automatically renewed if you had no violations, if you had some troubles, you have to check the books to pass a test. I recently passed one without even looking in the booklet( you have 3 attempts to pass when you pay).
